The drill
Double cross dribble → punch step with lead foot → recover to squared stance, continuous flow.
the dribble, I don't care how you do it, you can go right away. So it's going to be a continuous flow. So we're here, 1 2, punch. I'm here, 1 2, punch.
Is this drill for you?
For novice ballhandlers (Level 2) who can double cross and want to recover to a squared, balanced stance in one continuous flow - no hoop, no partner, cone markers help.
Variations: Continuous flow; both directions.
In a game: Recovering squared after a move means you're never stuck leaning - you can go either way, which is what keeps defenders honest.
