7 inches between your foot and knee must be a little awkward though. I bet you do have the highest, straight knee jump for anyone with an inseam less than 20", unless you have really long femurs.

Good grief, I think you guys are trolling me.


I'll say it once more.


When you're testing your vertical, you jump straight up like the letter "I" Mine for example is 29 inches, foot to ground.


Let's say I'm trying to jump over a 36 inch high fence. Now I obviously couldn't jump straight up, because my feet would only be 29 inches off the ground, so I would have to pull my knees up(like a cannonball) , therefore giving me more clearance.

It doesn't add to your vertical, I was just stating if you know your vertical... You can pretty much tell what you can clear by adding up how far you can pull your knees up.

For example let's say my foot to knee is 24 inches.

That means if I jump and when I get to the peak of my jump(29 inches) I can bend my knees for an extra 24 inches, which would only be to clear or jump onto something, it doesn't change your vertical because

It wouldn't help you dunk or catch a high thrown pass, but it will benefit when platform jumping or hurdling.
