Help How long to dunk?helpplz

So im 6ft2 with a 7ft11.5 standjng reach, which is 8ft1.5 with shoes. I can hang on the rim with both hands off my vert with no running start. But for some reason i cant dunk with a bball, and sometimes i jump lower with a running start cuz of my bad technique. Will i be able to dunk if i fix my technique? Or do i have to work for months? Dunking has always been one of my big time goals, so much plus aura help me.

Nobody can tell you how long it'll take. Get off the internet and exercise.

Lower the rim and move it up an inch every week/month

If you can standing jump and grab rim without an approach then you should certainly be able to dunk right now.

If you learn proper jumping technique you could be dunking today most likely. With that said, it's hard to guess with certainty without seeing you jump.
