Master the art of deception with this dynamic drill, focusing on fluid weight shifts and quick momentum transfers to blow by defenders with precise footwork.
The drill
Dribble → execute a weight shift/rocker hesitation → cross over/between legs → drive past defender.
One. Yeah, good, there you go. Ah. One, tough. Yeah, I thought you were count-- One. Yes, good. Ah. Tough.
Is this drill for you?
For advanced players (Level 4) who can crossover at speed and want to freeze defenders with a rocker hesitation before blowing by - no hoop or partner needed.
Variations: Crossover or between-the-legs out of the hesitation.
In a game: The rocker hesitation shifts your weight without committing - when the defender bites, the crossover is already gone. This builds the feet behind it.
