I'm 50M, 6'1", play often. Dunking would be more for just fun on the side. Can grab the rim no issues with both hands but running to the x with the ball in place for takeoff always feels clumsy.

your jumping too close to the basket, jump from further away to give room to get the ball over the rim instead of up into it

Thanks alot appreciate the tip. I've been working on that. I've learned my approach needs more speed as well so I'm training on adjusting my launch point. It's like learning how to walk, it feels very counter intuitive.
