Is this drill for you?
For beginners (Level 1) grooving the stationary crossover - three levels of BTL-BTB chains with a progressively lower, wider stance.
The ladder: Level 1 wide-stance chains first, then the narrower Level 2, then the very low Level 3.
Variations: Start each level with either hand.
In a game: Mastering the chain standing still is what makes it hold up at game speed.
