Two-foot power jumps
A two-foot takeoff for jumping is slower but more stable than jumping from one foot on the move. It is best used when you are in high-trafficc situations or on power lay-ups with close defenders. It is a slower but very strong move from a balanced position.
The tackeoff should be planted firmly before the jump is made to provide maximum leg-muscle contration, i.e., quick stop and jump. You need to use momentum to transfer whenever possible, by using the forward momentum of a running jump with forceful contact on the takeoff, and swinging the arms forcefully to add to the body´s momentum when time and space permit.

Quick jumps are the best compromise between conserving time and space and maintaining body position and control. A quick jump should be used wherever there is congestion, contact, or a contested jump around the basketball. The hands are held hight with the uper arms near horizintal and forearm vertical before a quick jump is made. These are two-foot jumps using two-hands without omentum that start from a quick stance.
One-Foot Jumps
