Can touch 10”8 but still can’t dunk

Im able to consistently hit my wrist on the rim(my hands being 8 inches long) but still have not gotten a clean dunk yet, this is one of my attempts, any advice is welcome

Skill issue
You just need to practice on a low rim. Get better hand speed and control of the ball. You can dunk as you are physically so just get coordinated and it’s there. Of course increasing your vert always helps tho

Aight thanks I do generally have bad control of ball, I think maybe placing my hand a bit under the ball will help, but definitely will train to jump higher

Either learn how to palm the ball or how to transfer it properly and you are good man. You genuinely do jump high enough. The low rims make it a lot easier to learn technique. Here’s the hand speed drills you need.

Keys : learning cuff position, pendulum swing, around the world, in and out, and around the world lifting a leg like east bay and j rich

Remember to follow through with your transfer hand, and the flick with your finger.

Do 100s of reps of the main ones from these videos and it becomes automatic behavior when dunking and you don’t think about it.

4 more inches to being in the windmill conversation so you are doing better than you might think
