PG Secrets to the Perfect Spin Move
Essential Technical Details
- Maintaining dorsiflexion (toe up) on the step before the spin.
- Understanding how the body transitions from lunge → squat → finish.
Why the Spin Matters
The spin becomes extremely valuable when used after a hard drive, because it’s one of only four true ways to change direction off the dribble: between, behind, cross, and spin. Everything else is just a fake.
Key Takeaway
Master these fundamentals, because the quality of your spin, tight, controlled, and explosive, can help you score at a high level and punish defenders who overplay your first move.
