Better Ball Handling is the most comprehensive dribbling video around, detailing every aspect of dribbling, whether it's basic game dribbling, moves made on a straight line, moves made with a direction change, or those advanced moves that are almost unstoppable...

Features

• Strength, Control, and Speed Workouts are designed to build the particular handles that you need on the ball in order to perform the moves and combinations that you'll find in later workouts.
• Two and Three Ball Workouts are meant to train two components of your dribbling behavior. The first is overall coordination with both hands - this will not only improve your dominant hand, but will drive your towards becoming ambidextrous, equally skilled with either hand going any direction. The second is to increase your confidence. If you can handle two or three balls, then one ball is a piece of cake.
• Moving and Moves Workouts add a realism to the stationary workouts. Eventually, you have to exercise your skills while on the move. That's the way the game is played.
• Tennis Anyone? These tennis ball workouts are the single best way to train you to keep your head up and not watch the ball while you dribble. Eye-hand coordination is a premium for these workouts.
• Specialty Workouts are named for special situations. Perhaps you need to develop a killer crossover or some particular dribble. I hear comments about how certain players need to work on their weak hand.

Description

The Better 1 on 1 Offense DVD will teach players how to quickly read a defender, and react with the perfect move. It contains 3 hours and 44 minutes of techniques, including bonus sections from NBA(r) All-Star Chauncey Billups, WNBA(r) All-Star Sue Bird, and Hall-of-Famer Rick Barry, the only player to ever lead the NCAA(r), ABA(r), and NBA(r) in scoring.

Features

• Better 1 on 1 Offense starts with all the basics to ensure that even inexperienced players can build a solid foundation. For scoring from the perimeter, a player's foundation revolves around the Triple Attack Position (a.k.a. triple threat). This stance is the key building block for any player's scoring repertoire. You must be able to quickly read the defense and then instinctively react with the best move.
• At all levels of basketball we see players who aren't that physically quick, but get by their defender in game situations. And the reason is often that they have perfect biomechanics. And proper biomechanics aren't just about your feet! Did you realize that even the right ball movement can make you quicker? Just like a runner using their arms when they sprint, a basketball player can use the ball to speed up their initial explosion going to the basket! Better 1 on 1 Offense will show you how.
• If the defender is in your shot pocket, should you drive? What direction? If the defender sags, daring you to shoot, what should you do? Or what if he has found a middle distance? Also, what part of his body should you be reading? Coach Torbett will take you through every scenario, giving you the confidence to score on any defender in any 1 on 1 situation.
• The midrange pull-up jumper is a lost art. But why? It's perhaps the toughest shot to stop in all of basketball, yet most players today limit themselves to a three pointer or finishing around the basket. If that's your game, you don't have a full repertoire of basketball moves. But by applying the reads and progressions in this chapter, you can add the pull-up jumper to your scoring repertoire. In fact, the pull-up jumper is a favorite weapon of Sue, Chauncey, and Rick Barry, and they all address it in their bonus sections on this DVD.
• What should you do if you receive a pass outside of your shooting range with a defender off you? Learn the six scoring options you have when you have room to face the D. Also, learn how a body fake can make the defender react without you giving anything up, so that you can read him and react with a jump shot or a drive to the basket. And what if the defender pressures you tightly while you're dribbling, leaving you with no space to face him? Learn five different basketball moves out of a power dribble.
