Community | Cone layup

DESCRIPTION

These drills are great for teaching you how to get low when attacking the rim. This is critical for improving your first step speed out of your dribble moves. With the drills, you also improve ball control and finishing. As you will see, by grabbing the cone, it forces you to drop your hips, and get into a position that is ideal to blow by the defender. 1 - By getting in the “nose over the toes” position with your hips low, this helps you produce the most force against the ground. This makes you faster. 2 - It teaches you to get in a low, stable position that makes it harder for the defender to push you off your path to the basket. Below, there are four drill variations.
