Pound dribbling drill to measure power and ball speed retention. Acceleration is key to creating the highest ball speed retention on rebound back to the hand. The faster the ball gets back to the hand the less time in the air and the more time the player has control of it, minimizing the ability for a defender to steal it and also maximizing control over movement and direction.
Better acceleration of the ball is a result of better dribble arm, elbow extension acceleration, which in turn is a result of core and lower body stability and power/speed transfer. The better the ball accelerates the better is reaches highest speed closer to the ground which in turn results in better rebound and return speed.
