The RipCup was born from a simple, powerful observation by Micah Lancaster: players needed a way to train finishing angles that standard cones couldn't provide. While cones are excellent for dribbling drills, they create predictable, ground-based obstacles. The game happens in three dimensions, with defenders contesting shots at the rim from every angle. Lancaster envisioned a tool that could stick to the backboard itself, creating targets that forced players to adjust their touch, extension, and body control in real time.
Crafted with a durable screw-on design that integrates seamlessly with your existing RipCone ecosystem, each RipCup in this two-pack is engineered for countless training sessions. The material is specifically formulated to maintain suction power through sweat, impact, and varying temperatures. This isn't a gimmick—it's a precision training aid that bridges the gap between cone work and game-speed finishing.
What makes the RipCup special is the philosophy behind it: accountability. The ball doesn't lie. If your touch is off, the RipCup will tell you immediately with an errant rebound. It provides instant, objective feedback that accelerates skill development. This is RealSkill training—moving beyond mere repetition to deliberate, targeted practice that translates directly to improved performance when the lights come on.
