Is this drill for you?

For advanced ballhandlers (Level 4) comfortable with stationary combos who want to keep shifty rhythm through rapid crossover, between-the-legs and front-cross sequences - no hoop or partner needed.

Trains: ball-handling · rhythm · change of direction · explosiveness

Variations: Both sides.

In a game: Staying shifty through three or four dribble actions keeps a defender from timing you - this builds the rhythm that rolls straight into an attack cross.

Too advanced for beginners.
