Chapter 1 explains the three basic dribbling situations that occur in real games. The techniques in this chapter are basic, but you must master the basics before you can move onto the advanced stuff taught in the next 6 chapters.
One of the most important aspects to becoming a great ball handler is to be able to change from one type of dribble to another - at game speed. This is actually when most dribbling turnovers occur, but Coach Torbett explains how to avoid them. 4 minutes 39 seconds
Better Ball Handling's signature chapter! 12 year old dribbling phenom Andy Garcia demonstrates 115 drills to improve your ball control and hand speed.
A counter in the top right corner of the screen (see the pictures) will let you know exactly what number each drill is, out of 115. Each drill is also named!
The chapter is divided into 10 sections. Examples include Fingertip Control and 2 Ball Stationary. Some of the drills are so difficult that even advanced ball handlers need months to master them. #115 might be the toughest drill you've ever seen, but this 12 year old has it down! 13 minutes 22 seconds
In chapter 3, Coach Torbett dissects straight line moves, such as the Hesitation and Fake Crossover. For each move, coach explains exactly how the move is executed, and when it should be used in games. He also gives secrets to getting the most out of the move, and how to set up your defender before using the move. 2 minutes 56 seconds
Chapter 4 is similar to chapter 3, except the focus is on change of direction moves. Examples include the Crossover and Spin.
Before you move on to advanced moves (chapter five), you must master all of the moves in chapters 3 and 4. All advanced moves are basically an extension of the moves in these two chapters. 5 minutes 9 seconds
In the Advanced Moves chapter, Coach Torbett breaks down some of the most advanced and unstoppable moves in basketball. He explains exactly how they work, why the defender will get beaten if you use them correctly, and when to use them in games.
Examples of Better Ball Handling's Advanced Moves include the Half Spin and Lean In and the Pull Back Crossover.
Although many of the moves are difficult to master, you can become unstoppable off the dribble, at any level, if you can add them to your repertoire. 5 minutes 9 seconds
In this chapter, Coach Torbett explains 9 workouts you can use to improve your dribbling skills. The methods are unique and fun. Working on your handles will never get boring with the training methods in this chapter.
