How Can I Improve My Handles Even More I Already Have Good Handles But I Want To Improve More And

How can you improve your handles in basketball?

One of the best ways to improve your handle in basketball is to practice dribbling with a tennis ball. It may seem like the two do not translate, but if you are able to control a much smaller ball that bounces much higher you will have a much easier time dribbling a basketball.I also would recommend practicing a three dribble move progression. It is a crossover dribble, then a between the legs, then a behind the back. If you are able to perform these three moves in succession continuously, your handle will dramatically increase.Lastly, just dribble as much as possible. Practice makes perfect.

How can I improve a small, weak speaker to handle more bass?

You can make it a little better. But I’d have to get a better look at the speaker.If it is a long throw speaker with a foam surround, you can make it a little better by putting it into a larger box. This gives more space behind the speaker and lowers the lowest resonance point of the speaker. Many bookshelf speakers do this, either with a sealed box, a ported box, or a horn loaded box.Thanks to AthensProAudio dot gr for the image:However, matching the speaker to the box is not entirely trivial.All of these schemes in small boxes do make them much less efficient than simply using a much larger speaker in a box tuned for that speaker. I have a pair of Minimus 7 bookshelf speakers, a die cast sealed aluminum box speaker with a 4 inch long throw woofer. They take about 50W to get very loud, versus about 10W for some larger speakers I have that use 8 inch woofers.Thanks to HiFiEngine dot com for the image:I took a 4 inch long throw woofer, glued it to a 4 inch PVC sewer pipe connector, and experimented with different lengths of 4 inch sewer pipe. About 18 to 24 inches gave me a bass boost, and just a corner of a rag stuck into the end damped the “boing” sound (ringing).So it can be done.I’ve gotten decent sound from tiny 1 inch or so mylar speakers pulled from toys and headphones, simply by using the cap from a hair mousse bottle with the speaker glued onto the end. Or mounting it in a prop that acts like a sealed speaker box. It goes from tinny sounding to pretty reasonable. Not good enough for an electric guitar, I’m just pointing out how simply separating the front from the back of the speaker makes a huge difference in lower frequencies.Thanks to Alibaba dot com for the image:

How good will my handles be in basketball with 4 hours of training every day for a year?

If you truly work out right and hard then there is no doubt they will be crazy good. Most pro basketball players don’t come close to 4 hours of ball handling by itself daily. They usually balance it between all skills. An exception would be like Kyrie Irving, I don't know how much he practices ball handling drills a day, but it's fair to say a lot, considering he is debately the best ball handler of all time. But in a years time if you have an efficient and hard working training regimine, they have to get good. It's the whole “practice makes perfect” or muscle memory and performance improve from repetition and practice concept.Another way to approach this question is by the 10,000 rule. This states to become an expert in a field you must work at it for about 10,000 hours, which you can already imagine is a tremendous amount of work to put into something. A year has 365 days, multiply that by 4 hours each day and you've already reached 1,460 hours. So you'd be about 15% into reaching the level of mastery, and yes you would be an incredibly good ball handler.

When I play basketball outside my handles get out of control and when I play inside I have tight handles, why is that?

I’ll take a different tack here, and thanks for the A2A. You don’t mention whether you’re primarily a perimeter guy, a post player, swing, whatever, so this may be a little generic. I’ll tell you that unless your ball has a big boot in it or you’re Larry Bird shooting jumpers off dirt in French Lick, the ball doesn’t matter, debris doesn’t really matter, weather doesn’t matter. Game is game.My guess is that you’re playing mind games with yourself, that you’re thinking too much on the perimeter and you’re more into flow once you get into the lane.On the perimeter, you usually have some space and are trying to beat your guy 1:1. It’s easy to start overthinking things and plan your moves instead of flowing with the game. And because dribbling is such an instinctive action, once you’re aware of it you’ll start making adjustments, and all of a sudden it’s off your foot or you leave the ball on your cut.Once you’re in traffic, you stop thinking and just start taking what the game gives you at that moment. I’ve seen a lot of natural 3s and 4s who really need the traffic, the contact, and the challenge to execute.I’d suggest a couple of things. First of all, you may not be a natural point. Think about managing your game inside of a 15-foot radius of the basket and letting someone else run the offense; if you’ve got a nice perimeter shot, learn to run off of screens to get open for a pick-and-pop 3. Try it and see if things flow better for you.Also, if you want to make your handle as tight as possible, hit YouTube for some drills, and WORK. The only way to improve your handle is to make dribbling as natural to you as breathing, so it’s almost like you’re not even thinking about it. The only way to do that is to wire your brain to dribble unconsciously, and the only way to do that is practice.Watch some drills that show you how to shed your man at the perimeter off the bounce, then practice your footwork and handle daily. Then start trying new things in games, just one or two new moves at a time as you gain confidence. Keep it simple. Your boys will bust your balls because you’ll screw up a few times, but sooner than you know it, they’ll look like matadors. Nothing like someone going WTF because you left them standing at the top of the key!If you ain’t sweatin, you ain’t workin.

How can I be confident in my ball handling?

In-game is a lot different than on your driveway at home. At home, by yourself or even with friends, you're in your own element and no one expects anything from you. There is no one watching, no one to pressure you or criticize your game. You feel more free to take risks, use new moves and test your skills. In a game the experience is totally different. The opponent, your own team and even the crowd factor into how you play. Every move you make is being considered and you feel constant pressure to perform. This is stressful and causes you to play conservatively and with less confidence. The confident you might be a great scorer with good handles and speed, but add the pressure of a game and true talent and potential night never be seen. Competition is what sets the good players apart from the great players. Good players can perform, great players stand out. This all comes with confidence and balancing confidence with practice. These two elements working together in harmony allow you to stand out from the rest and, as a result, give you more opportunities to show what you can do on the court.
