Re: What's your vert?
[QUOTE=DatZNasty] [QUOTE=Remix]6'4" and 15 y/o. Standing reach = 8'2"
And I can get about 6 inches above rim.
So 10'6" - 8'2" = 24 in. running vert. Sad. [/QUOTE]Try again on the math[/QUOTE]
:oldlol: :applause: :oldlol:
try just a few inches higher

Re: What's your vert?
Quick question, do you measure reach on your tiptoes or flat footed on the floor?

Re: What's your vert?
[QUOTE=DatZNasty][B]I'd say I'm about the same right now, still down from my prime, [/B]but getting back up there. I can dunk a 12lb 10inch diameter medicine ball off 1 step, 2 feet or 1. I dunked the 16lb one easily too off 1 foot, but that one was one of the sand ones that is smaller than a volleyball but obviously weighs far more. I do it to increase motor unit recruitment, before I start dunking a regular basketball[/QUOTE]
If your vert is 40 right now, and you are down from your prime then what was it in your prime?

I'm pretty sure it's flat footed...

Re: What's your vert?
Alright this is a REALLY rough estimate. I remember reaching as high as I could on one of those giant rulers at Home Depot and I could barely touch 7'6-7'7 reaching as high as I could. When I (running)jump I'm about 2-3 inches under the rim. I'm 5'8.5. So apparently my running vertical would be what? :confusedshrug:
9'10 - 7'6 = 28 inches? :confusedshrug:
Is that decent for someone who just plays ball for fun and is an average sixteen year old white kid?
My reach has to be wrong, anyway. I can't only reach two feet above my head? Or can I? :confusedshrug:

Re: What's your vert?
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.
