Answer 1

Well, it's hard to tell if you're talking about 1 or 2 foot jumping or both, but it sounds like you aren't very good at jumping when you run up to do it. If that's the case, you need to do some agility drills and plyometrics. These will help you transfer the momentum of your approach into your jump. Also keep practicing your jumps to develop better coordination. Don't stop doing squats either; those are great for you. http://jumphighest.blogspot.com Maybe cut back a little though to compensate for the extra training.

Answer 3

well first u should try dunking with a tennis ball..then a little kids basketball..then a soccer ball..then a girls basketball..and then an actual ball. thats what helped my friend.

it can also be that ur fingers need to be stronger to hold the ball all the way. try doin finger pushups or sumthin.
