Ultimate Guide to Crossovers (Setup Moves & Counters) 

Good points. The secret is faking forwards, not to the side. That will shift the defender easier. And makes exploding the other way much faster & smoother.

@@CoachFrikki also very good points!

Maybe that’s why I could never get the Philly/hesi cross to really work…. I always faked to the side rather than forwards.

Ahhhh you guys just unlocked something scary in me. Bless you both 🙏🏿

Push out cross and in n out cross are two different crossover moves. Push out cross basically means you push the ball using an in n out move to get the ball out of your frame then cross it over. Meanwhile in the in n out cross you need to sell the in n out first then counter it with a cross

@@MrCHRIS-lv1fw good analysis friend

i pas getting mixed up since there is also a move called the push cross

Took me a while to realize the difference but theyre not the same. With an in and out you're faking the opposite direction of the hand the ball is in. And then you can cross to counter the defense sliding over which would make an in and out cross. With the push out cross you're doing the in and out move but you're moving in the direction of the ball hand and you're not trying to sell the in and out but the drive.

This has been my 100% success rate move for a couple years now. It works every. single. time.

Appreciate it bro 🔥

No doubt in it.

Fax

Absolutely

Agreed.

completely agree! the breakdown into steps is invaluable! Thank you Coach Frikki!

Glad it helped man - keep working and let me know if you need some tips with anything.

@@CoachFrikki hey coach, what do you think is the main things these guys do to not get stripped, unlike in your other vid "how to steal"'?

@@CoachFrikki yes I need some tips I can shoot any mid range shot but unable to shoot a 3 pointer atleast the ball is not touching the rim

Thank you sir - I'm glad that people are enjoying these breakdowns.

Thank you sir. Nothing better than a good crossover 🔥

Work that left! Put music or a podcast in your ears and dribble w/ your left for 30-60 minutes over the next few days. Being able to go both ways makes the game so much easier.

@@CoachFrikki what dribbles do you think i should practice, hard pound with left only or should i mix in with both hands( cross, btl cross etc).. plus any video you could reccomend

@@_random_guyWhich dribbles you do doesnt matter. Just do some different lefty dribbles, moves and combos. I'm personally not a big fan of "pound dribbles" but you can do them if you like.

BTL setup would be to go between the legs, then hang the ball and do a hesi. Hesi btl could mean a few things - did I use it in somewhere. Could mean doing a hanging hesitation then counter between the legs. Different trainers use different vocabularies. Put your own words on these moves that help you create a system that's easy to understand and remember: Setups, moves and counters.

Haha I would love to meet and play ball w/ all of my subscribers. Where do you live?

Yeah space between you and your defender. The push cross works best if you have space to work with, you can run with momentum at your defender and throw the ball far out to the side. Normal crossover works best when your defender is somewhat close to you. Shift him to the wrong side.

@@CoachFrikki Ok perfect. Thanks for clarifying

@@CoachFrikki I have been studying the usage of the off arm in your other videos. I got into the paint and finished a lot through contact yesterday. There's multiple ways to use the off arm. You can grab his back elbow, give a quick swipe, or you can play extremely close to your defender. Everyone's grab, hold, and seal will be different, according to body build and hand speed. The players who can get their arm in front of the handcheck with a back elbow touch or a slight grab of the elbow are the light, elusive, and agile players. The tank build players such as the Tim Hardaway's or Isiah Thomas of the bad boy Pistons like to crowd and control the moving space of the defense with an arm bar. I like to close the gap and dig my off arm into his chest like a tight arm bar and then bump him before going up. Sometimes I like to get my off arm infront of the handcheck and cradle the ball far from the defender and do a last second nudge or even slightly hold on to him while doing an extension layup off one leg. It prevents the shot blocker from either jumping altogether or barely getting off the floor. Have you seen anyone cradle the ball with one hand and tightly bump with the offarm without pushing off? If so what do you think of it? Effective or no?

@@davidhall4401 Cradling the ball is a great gather. Especially for strong players. Picking it up w/ one hand frees up the other to initiate contact or push off. Video on different dribble pickups here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GlCHlKsYXPg.html

@@CoachFrikki Ok thanks

Is it a ball control problem or problem with your footwork, shifting your weight? I'll take a look if you message me a video, @coachfrikki on Instagram.

@@CoachFrikki I sent it on ig. It’s just my body looks so stiff and rigid.

Between the legs

@@CoachFrikki thanks for great videos, I am learning a lot 👍

One of my favorite players

There are weaknesses to the lateral hop strategy. Fake to get him leaning/jumping the wrong way and explode the other way. Crossover/In&Out off the dribble. Jab&Go/Rocker/Cross off triple threat.

Ima lateral hopper, rarely slide my feet. I’m usually quick enough to meet the ball handler at their spot but when I play against someone with a good crossover they always get me at least once or twice

Such a fun footwork to play around with. Sadly not enough footage of in-game scissor steps to make a whole video on it though.

That's OK coach waiting for next upload keep it up

Knew I was gonna get roasted for that haha. Seriously though my 2 main reasons were 1) Not a huge fan of the way he does his "killer" BTL crossover. His BTL crossover is quick and hard while jabbing forwards. It's really hard to keep ball control and balance while accelerating from that position. I prefer teaching a slower BTL dribble setup (gives the defense more time to fall for the fake) like I mention at 2:06. It's more effective in my opinion from experimenting with both ways and watching Harden cross everybody up with that slow BTL dribble. 2) Almost every damn clip of him was in a bad quality No disrespect Tim Hardaway though. He's a legend and I'll put him in a video soon.

@@CoachFrikki I wouldn't say that's more effective. Hardaways dribble was always between the legs then cross. It's was predictable, but no one can stop it. Elite defenders in the NBA knew it was coming, but still couldn't stop it. While in the other hand, though AI had more creativity, he did palm the ball to cross.

​@@leogonzales4634 Tim Hardaway did it extremely well for sure. But in terms of the move itself, and teaching it to other players, a slow BTL setup is both easier and more effective.

Nope, from Iceland. I really respect the Filipino basketball culture though, the love you have for the game is insane.

How do you know terence romeo??
