GRIND is a revolutionary brand that has created the world's first portable basketball shooting machine. Born out of frustration, this innovative idea was conceived by high school sophomore Thomas Fields on a chilly morning back in 2012. Unable to access the gym, Fields realized he needed his own machine to practice without relying on a coach.

Over the next two years, he sketched and designed a shooting machine that could be taken to the park, and the result was GRIND. GRIND's shooting machine is not just foldable, but it also comes with software that allows players to track their analytics and challenge players from around the world. It serves as a personal training device, providing real-time feedback and allowing players to refine their shooting techniques.

The brand was built from the ground up, with Fields using his college refund check to build the prototype in 2014. GRIND has since become a mandatory product for the basketball world, helping players on multiple levels. With a focus on making the machine affordable and accessible, GRIND aims to inspire young inner-city kids to pursue careers in engineering and technology, showing them that success can be achieved through innovation and involvement in sports
