Before basketball players step onto the court, have them step on the Slipp-Nott Basketball Traction Mat for a sure grip on the hardwood. Players at all levels need traction if they want to shake a defender or drop into a stance and stay in front of the opposition. After stepping on the mat, ballers can fly up and down the court, stop on a dime and change directions quickly, as it rids the bottom of their shoes of slippery dust, dirt and wax buildups. Just lay the traction mat down at the end of the bench to give your team a leg up in their next game.
