The love for the game of basketball is a prevalent force across the nation. Today, basketball enthusiasts, whether professional or not, all aspire for one thing: to improve their shot accuracy. Today, an innovative company has introduced a new invention that helps shooters improve accuracy and strength when attempting their shots. The product is called Perfect Rotation. 

The idea first came to founder Mitchell Adams over four years ago while preparing to play with his sons in a game of basketball. While shooting a medicine ball with built-in handles to activate his dormant shooting muscles, Mitchell’s hand found itself on one of the handles, and when he shot the ball, he got a perfect rotation. At that moment, he thought of creating a shooting ball with finger placements to aid in the shooting process. 

After sharing the idea with his sons, he next sought out his nephew, who had just graduated art school, to help sketch the idea. Within a few iterations of the drawing, Mitchell’s nephew drew what is now the Perfect Rotation basketball. He started sharing the sketches with his family and friends, who encouraged him to pursue the idea. Mitchell presented the idea to a patent attorney four months later and discovered nothing of the Perfect Rotation’s kind had existed yet. Everything else is history.

After four years, the Perfect Rotation basketball is picking up momentum in the market and has been a game-changer in the world of basketball for those that have adopted this ball as a training aid. Today, Mitchell hopes to spread the news and let all basketball lovers, players, coaches, and trainers know about the inventive new approach to significantly improving one’s shot. 

The Perfect Rotation basketball looks like any other regular basketball except for its heavier weight and design. The ball has patented channels that help activate the shooting fingers, which improves their action when flicking a ball during a shot. The ball’s design is engineered professionally to improve a shooter’s rotation, strength, and mechanics. The ingenious design helps a shooter master the perfect flick, a factor that adds to the ball’s trajectory and thus shot accuracy.

Usually, the Perfect Rotation isn’t meant to be shot at the basket, so players can practice shooting into the air or back and forth with a teammate. Because the ball is heavier than standard basketballs, the product helps build the necessary arm and finger strength to increase the shooter’s range. While the Perfect Rotation isn’t the first weighted ball, its function is unique compared to others of its adjacent kind. Most weighted basketballs only help straighten muscles from wrist to shoulder. The Perfect Rotation basketball channels help strengthen everything from fingertips to shoulder, improving shots significantly. 

The product also helps shooters improve their form and shot by creating muscle memory based on the ball’s design and function. Regardless of background, skill level, or body type, the Perfect Rotation basketball can help anyone improve their shot through consistent use and exercise. Mitchell Adams hopes to see the Perfect Rotation basketball become a staple in gyms, schools, and even for professional basketball teams one day. 

Mitchell Adams holds a Master’s Degree in Sports Management from the University of San Francisco. Before starting Perfect Rotation, Inc, he worked in and around sports for over 20 years and also spent time as an agent for the NFL from 2012 to 2018. Mitchell also has an extensive sales background and worked as Manager of Inside Sales, Channel Account Manager, and Global Sales Trainer at Recommind, now known as OpenText.

Since December of 2016, Mitchell now acts as the Principal Owner and CEO of Perfect Rotation, LLC. He hopes to scale his business in the next five years and turn Perfect Rotation into a household brand among all basketball lovers worldwide. He also sees coaches utilizing this product as a pre and post-workout routine for all basketball players at every level.

Regardless of its impact on the neighborhood, many real estate developers, unfortunately, look for the next best opportunity. While this simple entrepreneurial practice may not seem so damaging on its own, the best real estate developers pick their projects with a purpose and account for both positive and negative externalities. 

New construction projects are able to re-shape the style as well as potential value of a neighborhood for better or for worse. This is precisely why Jason Halpern is the independent real estate development entrepreneur who is keen on improving old buildings’ financials as well as modernizing their look in a way that preserves their original character and any historic landmark status. Halpern’s very specific modus operandi is responsible for his vast success in recent years. 

Building a brand on refurbishing old buildings and outfitting them with new amenities and modern technology in a way that preserves its historic integrity (and any federal, state, or city landmark status), its authentic style as well as improves the financials of the building, Jason Halpern and JMH Development are able to distinguish themselves from the competition. The New York City real estate community is in agreement, as principal of JMH Development, Halpern has successfully positioned himself, and his company, as the leader in tastefully refining and modernizing historical districts in the city, winning awards for almost all of his new development projects. 

As a testament to Halpern’s ability to build a construct a new development that complements the existing style in the neighborhood, improves the existing financials, as well as includes all the popular modern technology and amenities, Halpern’s and JMH Developments’ ‘Luxury Residences at 70 Henry’ project was unanimously approved by the Landmarks Preservation Commission in June of 2015.As an homage to his deep roots in Brooklyn, Halpern felt personally connected to this project located in the famed historic district of Brooklyn Heights. Halpern and his partner Gerard Longo of Mettle Property were able to deliver on a stunning project that both embraces modernity as well as classic Brooklyn. Boasting the much-sought-after design of Morris Adjmi, the 70 Henry project offers five luxury residences, a maisonette, several full-floor residences, and an expansive penthouse with a private roof deck perfect for both entertaining as well as social distancing.

Halpern’s success with his 70 Henry project, reinvigorating the style and financials of the building while securing and preserving landmark status, is not the first of this kind. For around two decades now, Halpern has been inspired to take on projects, which preserve the historic integrity of its surrounding neighborhood, regardless of their perceived risk and complexity. This is more than just a business for Halpern, it is his passion; Halpern loves to take in the beauty and sense of antiquity while walking through historic districts. This reverence for the past and authentic character is part of Halpern’s motivation for mixing modernity with historical preservation.

Halpern commonly quips, “I’m not just a developer, I’m a preservationist.” 

Halpern’s exceptional ability to carve out this niche for himself and JMH Development, has allowed him to build and close multiple properties at a price point of 100 million dollars or more. Halpern’s and JMH Development’s impressive ability to preserve the integrity of a building and its neighborhood all while impressing investors and potential buyers with their buildings’ high-quality improvements, luxurious amenities, innovative technology, and strong financials are why he is widely recognized as the premier choice to develop and refine historic districts.
