Details
Transition speed refers to how quickly a player can change from one firing position to another. This includes switching hands, shifting between left and right edges, adjusting depth behind a bunker, or moving from high to low wraps. Elite players maintain seamless transitions that preserve accuracy and stability while avoiding unnecessary exposure.
Fast transitions allow players to: Counter unexpected angles Match quick opponent movements Change sides during crossfield trades Execute shoot and scoot patterns Maintain pressure without breaking rhythm
Improving transition speed requires disciplined mechanics, strong posture control, and consistent drill repetition. Advanced players practice these transitions under pressure, ensuring they maintain both precision and tight profile management.
