Demonstration video coming soon

Instructions

  1. 1Guard a live ball handler starting at the three-point line.
  2. 2Mirror the hip of the ball, not the ball itself, to avoid getting shoulder-turned.
  3. 3Force the drive toward a help defender or sideline, not down the middle.
  4. 4Reset after every score, blow-by, or stop and log which side you were beaten to.

What to focus on

Hips square and moving before the ball handler commits to a direction.

Common mistake

Reaching for the ball instead of moving the feet to cut off the angle.
