Is this drill for you?

For intermediate shooters (Level 3) who want pull-ups off real combo moves - speed stops, scissor retreats, and shake-n-bakes - not just catch-and-shoot.

Trains: shooting form · ball-handling · balance · footwork

The ladder: Start with in-and-out pull-ups and speed stop double crosses, then scissor retreats and reverse pivots, then shake-n-bake shots and pump-fake reset threes.

Variations: Shoot every move going both directions.

In a game: These are the self-created looks a sniper needs when the defense runs them off the line.

Half court.
