As we all know the shoes that are best for jumping are those that let you "get light" on your feet.
But does that stand for all surfaces? And what are those shoes?
From what i've read ( from Kelly Baggett ) the best shoes for plyos are the Nike free's coz they improve the foot strength/ankle stifness.
But what would be the shoes that help you jump the best you can? Lets all state our experience/knowledge on this stuff!

My experience :
best shoes ive used for jumping on concrete : Nike track racer. Its very lightweight, lets your feet feel and move light , but theres no cushioning , watch out your knees and shins.
others ive tried and havent jumped so good : nike road explosion running shoe & various basketball shoes like zoom uptempo

best shoes ive used for jumping on wooden court : Nike Hyperdunk : this baby is out of this world! lightweight , perfect fit , cushioning, ankle protection , movement freedom , it has it all.
others ive tried and havent jumped so good : many many many nike basketball shoes , most of them Zoom

What about you? :D

well , my VJ and RVJ gap was allways sth like 5-6''
it looks like it got up to 7'' now but maybe not:
the standing VJ PR was set in 2 May , the RVJ was ~2 months later , i havent measured standing vert since 2 may
but if its not 7'' its sure more than 5''
nth close to your 10''+ though , youre the reactivity king! :D

VJB WORKS... and i mean it WORKS!!!
its not just how many inches you gain.
most important is that it gives you the most solid training base.

as for gains... got my running VJ from ~24'' to ~32'' in ~2 years, starting at 33 years old. need i say more? :D
