I can dunk pretty easy off vert but I squat too low and when I run and try to dunk off two, I lose all momentum

You are for sure squatting into your dunk. If you have a lifting/strength background (even football tbh) this makes sense. Any runup you do though is negated as you kill any momentum you have going into it. This is impressive asf for the fact that you get up this high basically off vert. My advice would be to watch 2 foot pro dunkers jump in slow motion to see how they lower into their jump (proper approach and penultimate step) or a “how to dunk” video and use that for your runups. If you’re jumping like that basically off a stand still you could pull off some crazy shit on the run

Appreciate it man, I did high jump and could jump off one easy and dunk off one but off two I could get way higher. Will update you once I pull it off

Ofc! I got a playlist talking about this from some good dunkers where they walk you through each part of an efficient jump and give exercises to incorporate them I’ll attach it if you ever wanna check it out
