Let's go. Let's talk about two foot technique. Get those bounce up again. Let's freaking hop, baby, bud. What's popping? Dunk Tip Tuesday special edition. We're in the gym. Let's get it. Two foot technique. How you bounce off them two feet though? Okay, so I'm gonna get into it pretty quickly and then probably break it down for you so you guys can really make the most out of your two foot technique. It's what I picked up and I wanna give you some quick mistakes that I've made so you don't carve them. So let's get started with the mistakes. I want you to avoid these. First one is I threw lobs from this angle to go dunk always. And so then I had one carved pattern. Not everybody is as crazy in their mind as I am, but that's me. I don't have the natural talent to just translate that. So then when I tried to jump right left from this angle like this, my pattern was off and I would always jump super weird and it's just not what I wanna do. Tip number two, the point is I wasn't versatile. I want you guys to, when you throw lobs and you're practicing dunks, every session try different angles. It's gonna be good for your brain. It's gonna be good for your body. We're trying to dunk on people in games so we wanna be able to do it from any direction. Mistake number two was only throwing lobs. I want you guys to try dribble dunks from all angles and don't just get comfortable with the lobs because I got so good at the lobs that my dribble dunks, I was like, I could barely function with the ball on my hand. So practice dribble dunks, practice your lobs. I know you wanna jump higher, I know you wanna dunk, I know you wanna yam it, but I promise you, I want you to be the most versatile because it's the most fun you could have. More bodies you can catch, you can do more dunks. You're gonna be happy. You took the time to work on all those different factors. All right, so let's get into the technique and then I'm gonna give you some exercises and some tips to work on to really strengthen it, get it carved deep, get your technique on point and keep it working for you instead of against you. All right, so when it comes to two foot technique, the very basics are a big penultimate step off the back foot and you wanna plant big arm swing and the eyes up, your chin up, your chest up, you want this to be your positioning where you're lowering, but you're staying looking at the rim. So big key is always looking at the rim. That's why I like the lobs. That's why I like the backboard dunk because the ball is in the air. So if you wanna help yourself jump higher, you could even throw it off the backboard even if you can't dunk and just go for it. So for the approach, pretty basic way to start is just a three point line. I come from a little bit of an angle. I'm right left, come like this, try not to stutter step, boom, boom, push off. And one thing I noticed a lot too is a lot of times people are hopping into their plant so they're jumping like this, right? You don't want your feet to be exactly simultaneous but the closer to the simultaneous the better. You want those last two steps to be really quick, almost simultaneous and I push off sometimes even from the free throw line to get this jump where I push off like this, because I'm running so fast. So as a shorter dunker I use a lot of my speed and I push off that leg a lot to get into that penultimate. So a big penultimate, boom, and you wanna think about it pushing it low. So you're pushing off the back leg, keeping it low, arm swing back and really taking off smooth and it's okay to be straight on like this or very sideways like that. That's where people vary. It's not gonna be the exact same but the majority of people are gonna have a little bit of twist. They stop their momentum with this foot and a little bit of an angle and they take off like this, okay? So some people kinda take off and they're almost really straight but that's really hard to stop your momentum and some people twist a lot. So if they come from this angle they're gonna twist a lot, you know? But it's very natural to twist a little bit and if you're coming left right, totally okay. If you're right handed, Jordan Kilganon, Isaiah Rivera, they're both left right right handers and they come like this and they still twist a little bit and they go up with their right hand. Doesn't matter, it's whatever you're comfortable with but another big tip, a big mistake I see a lot is people trying to switch or just trying to do certain dunks. My biggest advice is to do both. Do right left, left right and do both hands. The more versatile the better. It can only help you. It's gonna keep your legs balanced. It's gonna keep your dunks and your repertoire open and it's also gonna let you catch more bodies which is the goal. So one of the best ways to practice two foot jumping is one step at a time. So we all know how to stand still jump. You just stand here and jump but even that I get wrong sometimes because I'm all the way in my toes like I'm jumping like this. You wanna lower and into your heels and try to use that booty, right? But one of the greatest ways to work on your technique is just one step away. So all you're doing is penultimate step which is that long step and taking off, right? So you're just like this. Boom and taking off as hard as you can looking up the whole time and if you're trying to switch plants my advice would be the same. Would be use that plant and just do one step at a time. So as you're doing one step at a time this is feeling good and I want you to learn what it feels like sometimes you're gonna be leaning sometimes you're gonna be jumping under the rim if you're feeling explosive and you're going balanced then you could start to add more steps. So at first we did one step, boom right left, right? So now we do one more step so we do left and then the penultimate, right? So you feel like boom. So now you're adding one more step. So you have one step, then the penultimate, then the take off. So we started with just the take off with stand still try to get that bouncy then you could even do less where you're just like this and you're in the penultimate already and you just take off, boom. And so that feels symmetric and balanced and by symmetric and balanced I mean your feet are straight and one quick tip, another quick this is full of quick tips is that people ask me why do my legs kick up? How do you kick up your legs? Does it help you jump higher? I don't think it helps you jump higher but I do think it's a great sign that you got a good balance of force between your legs because when I jump up if I pushed off both legs they pushed off the ground that when they come off that energy's coming out my body my legs just come up. So I actually notice that when I jump sometimes when I go left right especially it's my awkward plant I'm not that great at it I'll notice that I jump left right and this leg will come up and this one doesn't so that's a good sign for me that I didn't really get a good balance you really want a good balance using both of your legs. You're gonna have a dominant leg for right, left this leg is stopping all your momentum hence why it's bigger than the left but even though it's stopping the momentum when you take off you want to take off balance you want to take off strong in the penultimate, take off and just do reps of this till it feels comfortable notice your technique make sure you're planting correctly you're planting fast then you do just the penultimate, boom then you could work on how far you could do the penultimate so you're just doing the penultimate so one step, boom, push as far as you can go then you're doing two steps so one step than the penultimate, boom you're taking off right and I'd be jumping but I just don't want to be crazy at a breath and then you work up to just three steps total and that's your full approach you don't really need more than three steps you see some of the best dunkers in the world taking three big strides and flying everybody's different there's speed jumpers, there's power jumpers learn what you need but most importantly is those last steps the penultimate into your take off correct positioning and don't jump into it smooth and explosive and work one step at a time carving those patterns and you're gonna take off all right guys, thanks for watching great episode today obviously because I mean I'm biased but anyway have a great week have a great day, keep dunking I had an insane dunk session with Golden Bear coming soon so stay tuned for the dopest pictures we've ever seen and a dope what do you want to call it? vlog it's so much more than a vlog cinematic b-roll it's like a commercial dude it's like an experience hope you guys enjoy turtles
