Help with Dunk Calculator Online?

[pilandkeean]

Hi everyone,

I recently came across an online tool called a Dunk Calculator Online that estimates if you can dunk based on your height, vertical jump, and reach. It sounds fun, but I have a few questions. How accurate are these tools? Also, are there specific calculators you'd recommend as being more reliable?

I’m trying to improve my jump and want to set realistic goals. If you’ve used one before, did it align with your actual performance? Any tips for improving my vertical would also be appreciated.

Looking forward to your thoughts!

Thanks in advance.

The internet didn’t exist until around the time I was finishing high school, so I wasn’t using any dunk calculator, but I can tell you I was able to “lightly” dunk a full sized basketball in college (I’m under 6’ tall). In other words, I could dunk, but not get high enough to hang on the rim. I do recall training with ankle weights on and doing calf raises. That was over two decades ago. I’m not sure if I could even swipe the bottom of the net nowadays!
