It should always start with a fake—for instance, you want to fake right and cross left, followed by a fake left and and cross right.

Focus on repetitive drills, performing variations such as right-to-left and left-to-right 50 times each. Introduce different combinations to improve versatility, organize structured sets (e.g., five sets of 10 or 20), and commit 30 minutes to an hour per session for optimal skill development. Consistent and disciplined practice is essential to mastering this technique and boosting your confidence on the court.
