- Useful to eliminate an overcommiting player
- This is a difficult skill, and should only be explored once a player is comfortable using the right to left squeeze
- The right hand is dominant in this movement, with the left hand often hindering the skill. Have players attempt to move with only their right hand to see this

- Introduce a passive defender to put more pressure on the ball carrier
