Is this drill for you?

For novice scorers (Level 2) building a starter 1v1 bag - BTL jab, double cross, rocker step, scissor step, and punch step-back.

Trains: ball-handling · change of direction · shooting form · first-step speed

The ladder: BTL jab first, then double cross, rocker and scissor steps, and the punch step-back.

Variations: Run every move both directions.

In a game: Five moves, five reads - enough to win a 1v1 without needing elite handles.
