Is this drill for you?

For advanced players (Level 4) committed to a real weak-hand build - seven drills from cone dribbles to backboard taps and weak-hand finishes - hoop and cones required.

Trains: weak-hand development · ball-handling · finishing · off-hand coordination

The ladder: Cone pop behind-the-back first, then pound-and-taps, cone circles, up-and-under layups, backboard taps, tap-and-finish, and reverse Mikans.

Variations: All weak hand, all the way through.

In a game: Once the scouting report says force-him-left you need a weak hand that finishes - this builds it from dribble to layup.

Needs a hoop and cones; seven drills is a full session.
