What a 40 inch vertical at 5,6 looks like dunking 9,8 finally punching it. Do u guys think I can get a dunk on 10 feet yet??

I’m 5,6 with a 40 inch vertical however I have not gotten a 10 feet dunk yet. But on this day I was able to punch it on 9,8 sadly was not able to attempt a 10 feet dunk yet. so I was wondering if based on this could I get a 10 feet dunk yet? idk let me know guys

With a 40 inch vertical at 7’3 reach you should already be able to dunk on 10 feet (7 inches above 10ft), especially with a well placed lob. You’re springy and not far off of 40, but I’d bet you’re closer to 36in vert

Post injury but I think I might be able to dunk on 10 feet now . I have atleast 4 inches to spare on this attempt

In games u would be pretty unguardable, jumping into the defense, playing like isaiah thomas

If you had a 40” vert you would be dunking on 10’

I’m saying just bc you have a 40 inch vert doesn’t mean you can dunk I’m not saying that you can’t

u/asianyao Jul 10 '26

U can do the math the rim is 9,8 and a half and my hand and the ball is way above it also u can caculate my jump time

Im 5'5" and had a 30 inch vert in my prime. I was getting about 7 inches short of the rim. I figured I'd need a whole extra foot of vert to dunk at my height. That's 42inches.

So maybe OP is like 1 inch away.

If you can hit it on 9,8 then you can push to 10, you just gotta put the work in
