how high is the rim? jump looked nice and fast.

[Raptor]

Use a better ball the next time, with more grip.

[Mikey]

LBSS- The ring is 10 feet regulation size.
Raptor- If I run faster I can jump higher but when I try and run faster I end up losing grip of the ball. That's not just with that ball but with every ball. I probs just got to work on palming the ball more. That said the ball I was using in that vid is just a cheap outdoor Wilson one so yeh maybe using a ball with better grip would help out as well.

Edit- It's not the grip that's the problem though. It's the fact that I barely got enough vertical to dunk so if I gained another couple of inches I wouldn't have this problem at all.

[Raptor]

No, you don't need to work on your palming, you just need a ball with a better grip. I've had this discussion over and over and over, and it's 100% in the ball. I have balls that I can "palm" and really hold onto them using just two fingers, they have that good of a grip.

You'd definitely dunk with such a ball, and also move much better with it.

[Mikey]

Yeah but ideally you should be able to dunk with any ball regardless of its grip.

[Raptor]

Well go back in time and choose parents with great hand size genetics and great hand skin grip.

This morning I got a 32" standing vertical jump on a jump mat.. I consider that pretty good for me since it was in the morning with no mood to jump and really no warm up the day after a squat workout... My fitness teacher brought it out and me him and his colleague just started jumping.

So PR since I never really measured my standing vert.. Kinda makes me think I could get 35 if was really hype...
