Stability Ball Spin Moves

5 min · 15 reps

Attack the paint (alternating sides) → spin off stability ball, absorbing contact → finish at the rim, owning your space.

Transcript
This drill is called stability ball spin moves. All you're going to need is a partner and a stability ball, and we're going to make a move attacking the paint and spin off the stability ball, absorbing that bump and really feeling that spin off. Really work on holding your base and owning your space, not getting bumped off your line.

Is this drill for you?

For intermediate finishers (Level 3) building contact-proof spin moves off a stability ball with a partner.
