Player stands still, bouncing the ball back and forth between their hands using the spider pattern: right hand front, left hand front, right hand back, left hand back, repeat. 30 seconds, then switch direction.
Bizarre-looking but builds dribble feel like nothing else. Builds soft hands and fingertip control.
Stay low — squat position, like you're sitting in a chair.
Bounce hard — fingertip control, not the palm.
Fast tempo — should look like a blur.
Eyes up — feel the ball, don't watch it.
Don't fall over (sounds obvious; you'd be surprised).
Walk forwards while doing it. Crab walk (sideways). One ball spider one direction, second ball other direction. Time pressure: longest spider streak in 60 seconds.
