Pro Tips

• Keep the ball low and controlled throughout the drill
• Use your fingertips, not your palm, for better control
• Keep your head up and eyes forward - don't look at the ball
• Make sharp, decisive crossovers at each cone
• Maintain a low stance with bent knees for better balance
• Drive hard to the basket after the final crossover
• Finish strong at the rim with both hands
• Practice both left and right-handed layups
• Increase speed as you become more comfortable with the pattern
• Focus on ball control over speed initially
