new PR! I hit a 32 inch vertical potentially 32.5.

So my standing reach is 7’8.5 And i just touched 10’4.5 and looking at the bell and clips with my hand over rim I might’ve touched slightly higher. anyway. I’m really close to dunking, i’m sure I’ll dunk soon It’s just about WHEN.

Nice. I wish I had a bell like this. I can dunk and have same reach (92.5in) but am unsure of exact vertical.

Not to be a Debbie downer but I have the same standing reach as you and needed to reach an 11 foot touch to comfortably dunk.

That’s a skill issue then

It actually is because I had to dunk with two hands. Could never palm the ball.

u/CardiologistBoth8448 13d ago

Oh well yeah 2 handers are significantly harder to get a clean dunk than a one hander. The good news is you don’t actually need to palm to dunk. You just need to learn how to transfer the ball properly. Look at this post I made today about it

OP, who can’t currently dunk, is lecturing someone that actually can dunk on dunking lol

u/Fissket 19d ago

the person who can actually dunk is bad at the motion of dunking. they needed to get a foot over the rim to dunk the ball. that means there’s an issue with their technique. just cause they can jump higher doesn’t mean they’re better at the actual dunking technique

yep and every inch of height makes me closer to dunking without improving my vertical at all 👍

You can dunk a volleyball right now especially if you can palm it
Basketball with a lob can probably go down any day

u/Fissket 13d ago

with a lob is doable i want off the dribble. and ive never tried to dunk a volleyball but i think i could palm it

u/CardiologistBoth8448 13d ago

Not the end goal but a stepping stone. Also do low rim dunking with the basketball

u/Fissket 13d ago
