What's your vert?

[QUOTE=Zak]Ok then, that makes my standing reach 8'1.

Off of no step/one step gather two footed, I can get like 2 inches above the rim so: 10'2-8'1= 25 inches.

With a runup and one footed, since I am a one footed jumper, I can get like 5-6 inches above the rim:

10'5-8'1= 28 inches, and i am 14 years old.

Here is a pic with a one step gather, that i took during photography class at school, I am 100% certain the rim is 10 foot and later on maybe after next class i can get a picture with me with a runup one footed in an indoor gym.

EDIT: Put it as thumbnail now.

If you are wondering btw, I'm 14, 6'1, reach is 8'1, and I weigh about 145.[/QUOTE]
Holy ****, your skinny as ****.

If you just lifted more and gained muscle, you'd easily be dunking

What kind of lifting are we talking about here, dunking easily sounds nice lol.

You're 14. You don't need to do any weight lifting for a while.

Do you play football?

Squats.

[QUOTE=Remix]Do you play football?[/QUOTE]

No, no one in Saudi Arabia plays football lol.

On an unrelated note, i did get close to dunking today off of one foot, the P.E teacher even said all i needed was an inch and it would have been a dunk.

Oh, duh. I forgot you lived in Saudi.

About 30 inch.

About 35 inches I belive. :rockon:

about 21" standing/1 step. 5'2 13 y/o girl

[QUOTE=H2whoa]about 21" standing/1 step. 5'2 13 y/o girl[/QUOTE]
omg, my standing vert is lower than 13 year old girl's...

You don't need a good vertical if you can just drop the ball into the hoop without even jumping...but for everybody else then you might have to actually jump.

Back in college I had about a 35" on a run up. Never really measured the one foot, or standing vert. I'm short tho, 5'-11" with no real wingspan (as in, my wingspan doesn't exceed my height). All I could do was grab rim.

After my Rhuematoid arthritis, my vert is like 12" if I'm lucky.

im 16 75kg i think thats like 165pounds i think and 182cm - 6ft my standing vert is about 55cms-63cm or 22-25inchs depends if its a good day or bad day. sorry for both imperial and metric im from oz we use imperial and im not too sure about my conversions

im 19 at 5'7 with a running vert of just over 32inches. hows that?

i been playing ball since grade school, never really took it seriously, as in doing individual drills, practice, etc.. never tried a jumping program.. have only worked out my legs on occasions.. im 5'9 170lbs and sadly my running vertical is around 25 inches... :(

I have a 26' vert with one step. :pimp:

36" (I'm 16, 5' 11")

[QUOTE=JJ81]36" (I'm 16, 5' 11")[/QUOTE]
That's not bad...I don't think I know anyone with that high of a vertical to be honest! Mine is like 8-9 inches shorter than that (but I can just barely touch the rim even though I have a 7,7 ish standing reach w/ shoes on). Can you dunk btw?

Not sure what it is now, but I was able to hit 36" at age 17. Not bad for a 5'11" white guy.

I am a freshman in high school, 15 years old and can grab the rim. (about five inches over the rim)

Around a 32-33 inches on my vert.
Standstill is about 26 or so inches.

Pause Pause Pause Pause..Your saying that your vertical increases 6 to 7 inches when running?

[QUOTE=Splitz77]Pause Pause Pause Pause..Your saying that your vertical increases 6 to 7 inches when running?[/QUOTE]


It's plausible. Some people are 1 foot jumpers.

while 6-7 inches is a lot to gain just from running...its possible. When I was 17-18 (im 22 now), my vert was 28" standing and 32-33". Sometimes I was able to hit 34" on a really good day. I sucked at jumping off of 2 feet..I could barely dunk it. Off of one foot it was easy as hell though....go figure

It's nice that your running vertical is significantly higher than your stand still vertical because my running vertical is hardily any better than my stand still vertical. I can't use the kinetic energy from my running to increase the vertical leap lol...

38" Running

33" Standing flat footed

I am 40 and I am 6'4"

[QUOTE=JellyBean]38" Running

So I am guessing you can dunk without any problem (even when from a stand-still)?

[QUOTE=Splitz77]Pause Pause Pause Pause..Your saying that your vertical increases 6 to 7 inches when running?[/QUOTE]

That's what I'm saying.:lol Anyway, I jump a lot better off of one foot for some reason. I would say I am strictly a "one foot jumper".:hammertime: :roll:

[QUOTE=Splitz77]Pause Pause Pause Pause..Your saying that your vertical increases 6 to 7 inches when running?[/QUOTE]

my vert increases 7-8 when running...

31 inches running. 26 inches standing still.

I can only jump off of two feet, If I jump off of one foot it seems like my vertical is around 2.9 inches.

[QUOTE=supersmashbros]So I am guessing you can dunk without any problem (even when from a stand-still)?[/QUOTE]

Not really. With my stand still, I get maybe 1"-2" from the bottom of the net.

whoa, I think this topic has been on this forum many times already, but anyways, the truth is I can't think of anyone I personally know who has a vertical leap of more than 36 inches (3ft). Even though I knew everybody on my high school bball team, I don't think anyone of them had that kind of vertical leap.

haha, thats like exactly opposite of me. I can only dunk jumping of two feet. Off of one foot i cant even touch rim..lol..I think its just because ive always jumped off of two feet so I dont think im jumping right off of one foot.

36 Inches

how do you determine your vert?

iam around 5'10 standing still i come 2 or 3 inches from the rim

running i cant touch the top of the rim

Update:

I turned 15 last week, measured at 6'2, 155 pounds.
Since moving to the States and playing basketball on my school's freshman team, I started squatting/calf raises/ stairs and boxes during school workouts for the first time, and have been able to SMASH volleyballs, girls basketballs, even a slightly deflated basketball (lol), still closest I can come with a real basketball is doing a sort of a bowl spin thing where it slides down from the back of the rim and goes in, or usually i can't grip it or jump off right.

The best I can get off of two feet is hanging on the rim one handed/two handed.

I am 5'9,fat and and can hold the rim does that mean when I lose the weight I should have Lebron type hops.

I have a 32" Vertical..I just became the record holder for the school. :D
