Hi Karsten,

With what I am reading I believe you are asking for help with dunking the ball. I once had a player who was close to dunking and one of his teammates who could dunk told him it was all in his mind. The player who could dunk was determined to help his teammate out with dunking the ball. They would stay after practice and as he attempted to dunk the ball that other playere would grab his waist and push him up so he could jump a little higher. We all kind of chuckled but after about three weeks of this the player was able to dunk the ball. I am not sure how it worked but it worked. You kind of sound like you are in the position he was. Very close to dunking it. Maybe this woould work for you? I think it helped him with his timing and how to throw the ball down at the right time. If you try this have somebody else spot you just in case one of you slip. I would also check with your coach and make sure he approves. I am not saying this will help but it did help one of my players. Good luck!
