Is this drill for you?

For intermediate ballhandlers (Level 3) whose combos break down at speed and want one flowing fix - between-the-legs, cross, punch, and under drag chained - no hoop needed.

Trains: ball-handling · footwork · rhythm · change of direction · balance

Variations: Both hands.

In a game: Combos fail when the feet lag the dribble - this builds the punch-and-drag footwork that keeps chained moves balanced at game speed.

Single flowing combo; the coach's count sets the pace, so start slow before speeding up.
