i find left right plant easier as a right hander tho. i don't think it takes more hops, it's just what you're used to i think.

@EliasJordan3

most people cannot plant both ways equally, which is probably why you find it easier. but on dunks like between the legs and behind the back, a lot of left right planters (who are right handed), will try to finish those particular dunks left handed. some examples are jameel pugh and mike tustin

YESSS. this video is awesome. People explaining the technical side of dunking that I've known for years and years but you hardly hear people talking about.

[whiteflightbrotha]

definitely makes you think twice about those guys like aut, golden child who plant straight on, and how much more power they could potentially have from being able to pull those dunks off.Or maybe they're just used to that plant. haha

I plant left to right and never tried right left...it seems like an awkward plant but ill try it-kevin

@flying101dunk

i agree. i'm righthanded and i got left-right plant and i can dunk windmill,but only with left hand

@EliasJordan3 well a dubble up definitely takes more hops going from the opposite plant,that's probably why GC is the only 1 doing it that way.

What I like about JC is that he is left handed and is left foot dominate...opposite of tony danridge

@phil4723 you're not the only 1
