Is this drill for you?
For novice ballhandlers (Level 2) hopping between cones - wide crossovers, cross-BTL-BTB chains, reverse BTL, and combo flows.
The ladder: Wide crossovers first, then the cross-BTL-BTB chains, then reverse BTL and the combo flow.
Variations: Hop both directions on every chain.
In a game: Moving laterally through combos is how you walk a defender into the screen or the gap.
