- Pound dribble – a type of dribble in basketball in which the ball-handler uses a quick, forceful dribble to move the ball down the court or create space. The ball-handler will typically use the fingertips of both hands to dribble the ball hard and fast, often bouncing it low to the ground. The pound dribble is often used to gain speed or momentum, or to break through a defender’s pressure. It can also be used as a quick, powerful move to get past a defender or create an opening for a shot or pass.
