Is this drill for you?

For advanced ballhandlers (Level 4) who use the between-the-legs jab and want every counter off it - cross, double cross, drag, and wrap - hoop required for the finishes.

Trains: ball-handling · change of direction · footwork · rhythm · first-step speed

The ladder: Regular between-the-legs jab first, then cross, double-cross, drag, cross-between, and behind-the-back wrap counters.

Variations: Six counters; both legs.

In a game: The between-the-legs jab reads the defender's weight - these counters build the answer for whichever way they lean.

Drive finishes mean a hoop helps; can be run as shadow work without one.
