When it comes to new technology, it can be tough to get away from the familiar. When you think back to how you lived ten years ago, it's eye opening to see how quickly things have changed. Over time, the world and our lives are always evolving. With this evolution, new products and services are always being created.
We wanted to highlight a few relatable examples of how letting go of the familiar has led to better. With each example, we will highlight how our Dr. Dish Shooting Machines provide similar benefits compared to older technology.
STREAMING MOVIES AND WORKOUTS
Do you remember renting movies? For years, movie night meant having to go to the store, hope your movie was available, and renting it for a nightly fee. It's pretty tough to imagine! However, the movie system we know today as Netflix has only offered streaming since 2007. Now, rather than going to the movie store, you can browse hundreds of titles on your couch for a fixed, low monthly cost. Even if you're the biggest fan of the overpriced candy, and late return fees, the benefits of streaming content are clear as day. Not only is it a great value, but the options are nearly endless.
Relating it to Basketball Shooting Machines:
With our Dr. Dish shooting machines, you have similar accessibility! From our Training Management System on our professional models, to the Player App with our Dr. Dish Home machine players can access hundreds of workouts on demand. Previously, training with the best trainers was only possible if you lived in their area. Even if they were local, hourly rates, transportation, and gym time may prohibit you from accessing their expertise. Now, players have access around the clock to a library of drills that is always growing.
With older shooting machines on the market, on-demand training was non-existent. All of our Dr. Dish models (Rebel +, All Star +, and CT) include over 175 pre-built workouts accessible via touch screen. This means that your training is now more than sheer reps. Purposeful training with real-time feedback helps you know that you're always getting better every time you put in work. Our goal is not just to get you a machine, but to provide training to help you become the player everyone fears.
ONLINE SHOPPING AND DIGITAL TRAINING
We’ve all been there. In need of that perfect last minute Holiday or Birthday gift. Having to have that new book or product right when it is released! Before online shopping, this was an intense process. You had to locate a store that had what you need, make the commute, and hope that the item(s) we’re still in-stock! If you didn’t live near the store of interest, the gift might have been more of a dream than reality.
Online shopping has made this a breeze. From shopping at small businesses digitally, to companies like Amazon, the internet has allowed you to shop 24/7. Whatever item you're looking for, you can find it with a simple search. While shopping online may be less familiar, it's impossible to deny the benefits that it provides. For stores, it expands their customer base immensely. For customers, it opens the door to options you would have never dreamed of for your shopping.
Relating it to Basketball Shooting Machines:
Our Dr. Dish shooting machines offer similar types of versatility. Gone are the days where you have to worry about open-gym schedules, booking appointments with trainers, or working around parents schedules to rebound for you. If a school or home has a Dr. Dish machine, players of all levels can get up to 1,500 shots up per hour. To become a lights out shooter in the past would have required countless hours of chasing rebounds. Now, players can reach their potential without sacrificing practice time on priorities like school, family, or extracurricular activities. To be better everyday means improving in all areas of life.
SMARTPHONES and SMART Machines
Can you still remember the busy signal? What about having 2 people in one house answer the phone at the same time? The days of landline phones seem like an eternity ago. Now, our phones are computers, cameras, GPS devices, notepads, compasses, and even virtual assistants. This technology opens up the world for every day users. It makes navigating big cities a breeze, allows us to save your favorite memories with one click of a camera, and helps us all keep up with the fast paced society of 2021. The best part? All of these features are built in. Think of trying to separately store and use all of the tools inside your phone.
Relating it to Basketball Shooting Machines:
We know ease of use is important to our customers. That's why our machines weigh 100 pounds less than other options on the market. All of our Dr. Dish machines are sleek, slim, and fit through a standard sized doorway. We have kids as young as 10 years old who set up and use our machines on their own. By making our machines easier to set up and use, new opportunities are created. Now, players don’t need to wait for a parent or coach to use their machine. When they're done shooting, the Dr. Dish can be stored in a few minutes, and is similar in size to a stack of chairs. We pride ourselves on equipment that players of all ages can use and store with ease.
BETTER NEVER STOPS
When you think of the hottest companies in the world today, a couple come to mind. Apple and Tesla are always near the top of the list. The reason being that they continue to raise the bar on what high-tech really means. Through a combination of software and hardware, these companies create beautiful products that integrate seamlessly with your everyday life. They push the limit of what is possible to create the best for their customers.
At Dr. Dish Basketball, we believe in the same type of innovation. Our ears are always open to feedback from coaches, players, parents, and trainers all over the globe. That listening has led us to create the first ever shooting machine designed specifically for home use: The Dr. Dish Home. It was what drove us to innovate a machine with a nearly 16 inch touch screen, when nothing else like it existed on the market (Dr. Dish CT), complete with over the air software updates.
In 2021, we are excited to be rolling out even more great innovation. With our new Rebel + and All-Star + machines, you’ll have 3 touch screen options to choose from. In addition, we’re rolling out multiplayer stat tracking. This has been the #1 feature coaches and players have recommended for years. Last, we will continue to partner with the top minds in the game of basketball. With that, we will bring their best content directly to you. Our TMS library is constantly growing, making our machines “future proof.”
We hope that this blog post gave you a look at the way our company views innovation and product development. Our motto of “be better everyday” is us lecturing to ourselves. While we love seeing our #DrDishFam be better on the court, we hold ourselves to the same standard. If you purchase a Dr. Dish machine, you have our word that we will be your partner, you’ll have fanatical customer service, and that we’ll always make world-class products for you to utilize. It is always our mission to build your confidence in both sports and in life.
