Key Features

Why HOOPTEQ Changes The whole equation

More reps. Less setup. Less money. Less dependence on a gym.

More Reps Per Session

A typical solo workout turns into a rebound workout fast. HOOPTEQ keeps the ball coming back, so an hour can look like 600 shots instead of 100.

18 lbs

Lightest in the World

Traditional shooting machines are heavy and tied to one place. HOOPTEQ weighs 18 lbs and fits in a backpack.

<2min

Setup. No Tools.

HOOPTEQ goes from backpack to first shot in under 2 minutes with no tools and no cord.

What Hoopers Are Saying

Why Players And Trainers Are BUYING IN EARLY

HOOPTEQ already has the attention of the people who understand the problem best: the hooper, the parent paying for development, and the trainer who wants more reps in less time.

My son does 600 shots every morning before school now. His shot has completely changed in 6 weeks. HOOPTEQ is the most important thing we've bought for his development.

I train 15 kids weekly and I've been looking for something portable I can bring to any court. The backpack form factor is exactly what the market has been missing for years.

Before HOOPTEQ I was spending half my solo sessions just chasing the ball. Now I get more reps in 30 minutes than I used to get in two hours. It's not even close.

The Problem Is ACCESS, NOT EFFORT

Most players are not behind because they care less. They are behind because the tools that create real shooting reps are too expensive, too heavy, and too tied to private gyms. HOOPTEQ fixes that.

🏃

Too many reps get lost chasing rebounds.

Most solo workouts turn into ball retrieval. Shoot, chase, reset, repeat. That kills volume, rhythm, and focus.

💸

Real shooting machines cost $15,000.

That makes them a facility tool, not a family tool. Most kids never get access to the equipment that would actually change their game.

📍

Most machines stay in one place.

If the machine needs a wall outlet, a truck, and a permanent home, most hoopers never get access to it.

HOOPTEQ does not ask the hooper to get to the machine. It brings the machine to the hooper.

Eric Roberson

Founder and CEO, HOOPTEQ

Chicago, IL

Built by a hooper WHO LIVED THE PROBLEM

Eric did not start with a facility, a massive budget, or a big team. He started with the same frustration most players know: too much time chasing rebounds, and too little access to real training tools. That origin story matters because it explains why HOOPTEQ is built differently. HOOPTEQ started as a backyard prototype. It is now patent-pending with 850+ early supporters, a manufacturing partner, and a launch date set for 2027.
