How To Play
LEARN IN 3 STEPS
Like riding a bike — once you learn, you never forget. Here's how to get started.
01
01
Grab Your Barlets
Pick up a pair of official barlets from our shop. You'll also need two balls — a Spalding basketball size or Hedgstrom Game Winner ball works great.
02
02
Learn to Dribble
Start with one ball. The red ball goes on your left side, the black ball on your right. Dribble the red ball on your left first, using your right barlet. Keep dribbling that same red ball with your left barlet. When you're ready, start the black ball with your right barlet — and keep the rhythm going until both balls are moving together.
03
03
Master the Steer
Control where the balls go. Practice with cones or track markers. Guide both balls in sync — this is where the real skill (and fun) begins.
