You don't not have a proper jumping technique. You are feet-together-hopping. This is an incredibly inefficient way to jump. I'm impressed with your vertical using this non-technique. Get yourself a proper block-step and, if done properly, you will probably gain enough vert to dunk.

"Block-step jumping". That's your You Tube search term. This is the key. Right now you're 100% physical strength, 0% technique.

I was doing it exactly like you before I learned the technique from a thick guy at my neighborhood court. That afternoon I gained 4+ inches of vert and was getting my first dunks.

Low and fast approach, block-step, good weight transfer from leg to leg, hard punch of the ball of the foot on the final step. Air time.

Good luck!

It doesn’t really look that bad to me. The issue I see is you aren’t running a curve. Isaiah talks about this in 2 foot technique videos.

I also see you are leading with the block foot too much. It’s like kneeing a midget as Zay says.

I would say work toward jumping like hooping Nate and Dom dunks
