Two-ball dribbling drills are extremely effective in improving your dribbling and ball handling. Whenever you do activities that are more difficult than you are accustomed to, the previous activity becomes easier in relation to what you are now doing. So, if you regularly practice dribbling with two basketballs, imagine how easy it would be to dribble with one.

Start with a solid dribbling position with knees and waist bent. Dribble the balls together waist high firmly.
2) 2-High / Low
Start by dribbling the balls waist high for 10 seconds, then suddenly let it fall low by dribbling them as low as you can, hold this for 10 seconds, then bring it back up to waist high.
3) Pistons
Alternate the dribble like pistons in a engine.
4) 1 High, 1 Low
Dribble a ball on each side, one as high as you can with the other low to the floor. Then switch.

Dribble the balls on sides from front to back. Rolls wrist back and forth to dribble front and back.
6) Wipers
