Answer 3

Well. I recently baught a shooting sleeve and this is what iv read it does.

It keeps your muscles warmLooks goodAnd it kinda gets to your head that it improves your shooting

So it can probably increase your shooting. But if you start missing its just getting to your head. But overall doesn't do much. Just mainly for looks

Answer 4

Shooting sleeves are meant to help players practice their shots on their own. Shooting sleeves are also know as rebounders or hoop chutes. The shooting sleeve attaches to the bottom of the rim and has a directional design that is meant to bring the ball back to the player. This type of equipment is helpful if the player has a good shot and wants to practice free throws or a shot from some other location where they will not be moving around the court. A shooting sleeve does nothing to return airballs or missed shots.
