8 Basketball Power-Dribbling DrillsWritten by Mark. S.
Continued from page 1
5. Double ball power dribbling - Power dribble two balls, one in each hand. This will increase your arm strength for dribbling and enhance your dribbling control. Since you can't look at both hands at same time, this drill will also practice your ability to power dribble without looking at ball. 6. Power dribbling sprints - This drill requires you to power dribble for an extended period of time and run back and forth on basketball court. Stand at one end of a basketball court. Dribble to nearest foul line, then return to baseline. Dribble to middle of court, then return to baseline from which you started. Dribble to farthest foul line, then return to baseline from which you started. Finally, dribble entire length of court, and return to baseline from which you started. This entire continuous power dribbling exercise counts as one complete cycle of drill. Repeat multiple times to practice your dribbling, speed, and direction-changing abilities. 7. 3-chair dribbling - Set up 3 chairs or cones in a line, spacing each chair/cone 10 feet apart. Power dribble around chairs/cones in different shapes, such as figure-eights, circles, or any shape. Use your imagination. 8. Dirt dribbling - This drill actually requires you to leave basketball court and find a patch of dirt. Power dribble on dirt for a minute or two. You will need to power dribble ball even harder than usual in order to get ball to bounce on dirt. This drill is an extremely good arm workout with power dribbling.Start with just a few of these exercises, and then expand your workouts to include more drills. You can also modify drills to be more challenging by increasing number of repetitions or slightly modifying drill. The key is to vary your routines and have fun with them. By practicing power dribble, you will greatly improve your dribbling.

Tips I have been told about for bait include chunks of uncooked pork links. The person had this on hook when a huge fish hit and during struggle broke pole. They never saw fish so it could have been a carp or catfish. The same person said try deep frying chuncks of Spam. It wll stay on hook much better that way. I have also been told that a mixture of wheaties,ground beef and limburger cheese is a good bait for both carp, blues and channel cats. Thes baits can help you out in a pinch when no bait shops are open near your fishing hole. Tight lines to all.
