Is this drill for you?

For elite creators (Level 5) who own the under drag and want seven counters off it - punch steps, spins, wraps, and drop pulls into jumpers - hoop required.

Trains: ball-handling · change of direction · shooting form · rhythm · footwork

The ladder: Punch side-step and cross counters first, then spin, misdirection, behind-the-back wrap, in-and-out, and drop-pull counters.

Variations: Seven counters; both directions.

In a game: When a defender goes under or sits on your drive, the under drag re-opens the floor - this builds the counter tree that turns one move into seven.

Elite difficulty; requires a grooved jumper to finish the reps honestly.
