Does it consider good approach that 2 leg jumper should practice?  I notice the jump is rather close to the rim...

As I recall, Kelly suggested to jump further away from the rim to have more margin of error....and no needing to go Up and Over to put down a ball...

But i assume, jumping further need more power than jumping straight up?

jumping a bit further would help. To be honest, when i jump too close to the rim, i have to arch my back backward and I feel like I lose some height that way. In addition, it's easier to time the wrist snap when you're coming towards the rim from far instead of straight up (for me).

120426 Max effort jump approach with ball shooting
Got this insight from a Asian dunker from Canada,  he told me not to lean back going in to a jump.  
The Leaning back and shifting/rotating forward into a jump lost a lot of energy and slow down take off time.
The reason about leaning back is because I am trying to gather as much horizontal momentum into the ground for recoil.  This concept is apparently not efficient.

Asian dunker suggested me to keep my head on top of my feet during recoil, and try to run and jump on the balls of the foot to increase speed.

So I did just that today, and it seems to work better. I did around 15 self toss air ball and pretending to be going up like Adarq with 1 hand in the air...
1 out of 15 attempts actually felt very good, I was up in the air, got the ball and as if I am going for a dunk... on the side of the rim...

One small step toward my Dream/Goal!  I felt happy!!!
