Here’s the best way to tighten up your handles.

Lane Dribbling is one of the best exercises you can do to improve your ball handling.

The reason why is that it forces you to put in the reps, which is the most effective way to tighten up your handles. 

So, here’s how you do this simple drill:

• With your strong hand, dribble from one end of the court to the other end (or from the start of the block to the end of it).
• Then, as you return, dribble with your weak hand (or off-hand).
• Once this gets easy, add crossovers and hezis to the mix and pound the ball with more force.
• Remember to bounce (or dribble) the ball with your fingertips and NOT the palm of your hand.

The more reps you do, the more (and quicker) you’ll improve, the stronger your arms will get and the more ball control you’ll build.

So, dribble as often as possible (i.e. Allen Iverson used to dribble a basketball whenever he was sent to the store to pick up milk in addition to his on-court work).
