Is this drill for you?
For elite ballhandlers (Level 5) who already own a crossover and want the explosive shift that turns it into a blow-by - no hoop needed.
The ladder: Single crossover explode first, then crossover-behind-the-back-crossover, then the full five-move chain.
Variations: Right to left and left to right.
In a game: The shift after the crossover is what actually breaks a defender's hips - this builds the explode-out that creates separation.
Elite pace and coordination - not for players still learning a single crossover.
