Is this drill for you?

For intermediate handlers (Level 3) comfortable with a pound dribble who want to add a between-the-legs snap between pounds - no hoop, no partner, small-space friendly.

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

Variations: Both legs.

In a game: Pound-between-pound keeps the ball low and protected while changing sides - the sequence you use to escape a reach or reset your attack in a tight space.

Hard pounding is loud - not apartment friendly.
