Is this drill for you?
For advanced ballhandlers (Level 4) who want wide-stance shiftiness - between-the-legs doubles, cone shifts, and wide behind-the-back work - cones required.
The ladder: Beginner wide-stance between-the-legs first, then All-Star speed with cone shifts, then wide-stance behind-the-back.
Variations: Both sides on every drill.
In a game: A wide, low stance is what lets you shift direction without standing up - this builds the base that makes shifty moves actually move defenders.
Needs cones; the All-Star tier is a big jump from Beginner - earn the speed.
