If everyone at higher ranks has it figured out what’s the point? Like I can understand when someone doesn’t do it but what’s the difference than doing a normal one if people have it down to a science

When you master an air dribble you’re not going to 50/50 your opponent every single time. It’s different in this situation. If you have 2 masters of speed kickoff go at it it’s going to be 50/50 every. Single. Time. Literally no different than just doing a normal kickoff.
When you are doing an air dribble your opponent is also not doing the same exact thing because it’s literally impossible. You see?
It’s not 50/50 though. If you consistently watch the top pro players, there is constant nuance. Sometimes they decide to fake last split second. Sometimes they delay intentionally for just a brief moment. Sometimes they go for an actual full speed commit. They mix it up and pay full attention to their opponent all the way to the last fraction of a second before ball touch. They aren’t going to do the same thing I’ve and over again. However, even if they did, mastering the skill becomes essential to keep things 50/50 rather than giving the opponent the advantage. Even if it doesn’t get you ahead, it becomes essential as a means of defense.
