For discussion: easier to change plants or change hands?

"plant probably, but not easier to jump as high when changing your plant - I think actually doing it doesn't feel that bad though for most people, so initially they may go "I can do this!!" then months later you see they still can't get up in that plant

Changing hands is easier from the perspective of actually landing dunks, if the vert is the same.

If you look at it from the perspective of someone short with a low reach, who needs a serious vert to dunk, changing hands seems 1000x easier than changing plant, in my humble opinion.

peace!!"


damn i can relate with that so much. tried to switch from RL->LR completely twice. overall put in almost a year's time with the LR plant, but yes, i was never be able to get up with it. it also just feels weaker because my right leg is stronger than my left too.

but yea, off two feet, am going full RL for the rest of my dunking career. in terms of switching hands btw, do you think there is much incentive to go lefty?

left hk, hope to be back next year. thanks for the location though. went several times, think it took about an hour each time by MTR. my last session there i struggled the most, was barely able to get 1 hand dunks off the dribble on the 9'6.5. hopefully next year when i get back will be able to dunk off the dribble 2 hands on the 9'6.5.

nice attempts on rim 3 though. can you do a 2 hander on rim 1 btw?

damn. could have met up with scoob & thrown each other some lobs.

fail++

:/  :trollface: :trolldance: :uhhhfacepalm:

lol. yea, i was up for it. i go back to HK pretty frequently so always a next time though. but yea, that was a great court. floor had great grip, with good rims and a good range of heights. definitely motivated to be able to wreck the 9'6.5 rim the next time i'm back lol.

alright, just the beginning of right leg 1 foot dunking/jumping. think i can progress on this really quickly. hopefully next year can dunk like that on 9'6.

just got back home yesterday. went for some dunks on my 9 ft hoop and barely was able to land off the dribble lol. am wondering whats going on, i feel like im grounded or something lol. probably the 14 hour flight has to have something to do with it though, and also feeling a bit sick.

Sounds good. Yea, was guessing that the best plyo for the SLRVJ is the SLRVJ too lol

83
Gonna start going off 1 foot again. What do ATG squats do for 1 foot jumping though, if anyone knows? I just know that going off 1 foot is rly posterior chain dominant, so definitely gonna deadlift hard mainly.

Ok so the rim heights are 9’6.5, 9’7, 9’8.5, and 9’9 in feet. Good range of heights. Will continue working on the 9’6.5 one the next time I get back.

Thx for the great location scooby. Took me 1.5 hrs to get there but was worth it. I found the lowest rim and just did every plant on it. Dribble dunks, lobs, from every angle, etc lol. Was fun. Do u have an estimate on its height? 9’7 or 9’8 u think?

Alright thanks scooby. Quite far away but I’ll go check it out tomorrow. What’s the height range around though?

Hello I’m in HK right now, just wondering if you know where there are lower rims?

88
okay, adding back in RL.

89
yo, hello again. damn the summer whizzed by. yep, i'm still hopping around in my backyard sometimes, really just greasing the groove on 9 ft. guess i've been busy with other stuff hence no footage and just sticking around on 9 ft. but yea, seems there's not much to it i guess. gotta just keep jumping.

90
can still jump higher off RL, but am sticking to LR. LR definitely easier on my left knee
