How To Dunk: Approach

Some thoughts I have on two foot approach when dunking. I still have a lot of work to do in the realm of approaching for dunks but I'm coming for it!

"The outcome of a jump is really just an expression of the approach that comes before it" love it

4 years later, I find myself struggling with positioning and now I find this gem of a video

@Justin Libermam I totally agree, I stand at 5'9 as well and I usually wonder what my penultimate step should look like at my height

[coolbeast]

This actually helped because I’m more used to concentrate courts more then slipper ones or wooden ones. Time to go explain to my friends why I couldn’t dunk in gym😂😂😂

[rykelo]

Next level detail as always! Any tips/progressions/ideas for developing a longer penultimate?

[cianafudzie]

Thank you! I’m learning how to dunk and this helped a lot!

[Brotherfaris]

Just what I needed! I can get half my forearm over the rim but struggle with dunking due to poor timing and coordination with the approach lol. Gonna try these tips out.

This is stellar, your stride and gather technique helped add TWO INCHES to my vertical within a weeks time of repetitive sets and awareness of my body.

You're insanely good, im 6ft and still working on my technique, i seem to lose momentum when i go for the takeoff

[damjanmitrovic]

Im 5ft 9 one foot jumper. Stuck at touching the rim

[youngmelo]

As a one foot jumper I usually like to approach from the side, creating a C along the outside of the rim rather than inside like in the video. I feel the one foot jumps can be taken from anywhere tho if you have enough speed 👍

yo great vid, super helpful in trying to smooth out my run up inconsistencies

[hexsplays]

Your conclusions matched mine. We only dunk on a 8Ft rim and I noticed that I dunked with L-R approach when dunking with my right hand but R-L when dunking with both hands. Going on R-L one legged to finish finger rolls as it's much quicker than gathering with two feet to dunk. Thanks for the info.

Amazing video bro I'm 15 and 6ft1 and I get so much crap for not being able to dunk when it's so much harder than it looks.

[peewk]

The only reason why i had a hard time trying to touch the rin was my approach so thanks dude

[zeeshotsgreen]

Thanks this was very helpful but I won’t be dunking for a while

[kaitosart]

And it's pretty easy for me to attack the rim now

[MrACruz]

Absolutely top tier quality man, learned so much! I can't help but overthink my approach so this helped clear the noise in my head. Any advice on how to efficiently incorporate arm swing with the approach? I'm stuck having my arms drive forward prior the driving them back, which I understand to be wasting energy

[juicebox]

oh yes thank you, i really need a vid on left right and dunk with right hand lol
