Is this drill for you?

For advanced ballhandlers (Level 4) burning out the in-and-out - low-stance reps, shamgod combos, two-ball INO, moving INO, and INO-cross burnouts.

Trains: ball-handling · conditioning · rhythm · hand-eye coordination

The ladder: Low-stance and front-back reps first, then the shamgod crossover burnout, two-ball INO, moving INO, and the INO-cross finisher.

Variations: Switch hands every minute.

In a game: One-minute burnouts make the in-and-out automatic - it has to be reflex before it is a weapon.

30 minutes; needs a second ball for one drill.

← Easier: Score like Jalen Brunson
