Getting that wicked handle takes practice. You'll needed to spend some time alone working on your game to develop those soft hands and more importantly, "quick feet".

Build your handle one move at a time. Use your imagination to work out the setup. Then get the rhythm down practicing by yourself. After you can execute the move twenty (20) times in a row consistently by yourself, it's time to workout the last few details on live defender.

It's fun, and a great workout.
