How do I practice my ballhandling?

The Spider

This is another ballhandling drill that seems very difficult at first, but with daily practice, will improve your handles. While keeping the ball between your legs, you touch the ball once with your right hand(fingers) in front, then with your left hand(fingers) in front, then with your right behind you, and then with your left behind you. Continue in this manner as fast as possible. Before long, you will master this skill.

It's not complicated, but it's hard. It helps work on your quickness and your control of the ball with your fingertips. It's far from pointless.

It's a drill to work on ball handling. No one said to use it in a game.

this drill isn't pointless it helps with ball control and ball handling, also as you progress you do it whilst looking forward and not at the ball. if you can do that then it really helps your game in general
