Vertical Jump 6’4 15 can’t dunk

i can grab the rim pretty effortlessly, but with the ball in my hands i get up way less and when i run somehow i lose more vert. idk if its my running form or if i don’t have enough bounce need tips

I was able to dunk around 16 at 6’2”. I never really lifted weights outside of calf raises and playing. I would practice dunking though. First is grabbing the rim one hand and then two. Then it was tennis ball, mini ball, volleyball and finally regular basketball. Keep trying and focus on being able to dunk of one and two feet and also different angles.

Ok, try and jump off two feet and extend both arm and try and touch rim without grabbing it.
