Is this drill for you?
For intermediate scorers (Level 3) weaponizing the cross-jab - six second-move counters (cross, BTL, BTB, INO, spin, double cross) into shots.
The ladder: Cross jab cross first, then BTL and BTB versions, then INO, spin, and the double cross.
Variations: Jab with either foot; finish both ways.
In a game: The jab reads the defender's feet - six counters mean his answer is always wrong.
30 minutes; needs a hoop and a chair.
← Easier: Kyrie-Style Stationary Dribbling
