Is this drill for you?

For advanced guards (Level 4) who can already shoot off the dribble and want a 25-minute package of combo pull-ups plus free throws - hoop required, no partner.

Trains: shooting form · ball-handling · footwork · touch · change of direction

Variations: Four pull-up setups; both sides and wings; free throws to close.

In a game: Combo pull-ups are the shooting guard's bread and butter when the play breaks down - this builds the dribble-to-shot footwork that creates the look.

25 minutes and too advanced for beginners.
