You can get em on amazon for like $250. They have cheaper ones, but you need to mount them on the wall.

right, that's what I was saying - its easy to cheat because you can just keep your shoulder blades contracted so you don't reach as high. then when you jump you fully stretch out and get a few more inches

Retracting your shoulders, leaning back, and slightly unlocking your knees can reduce your standing reach by several inches, thus giving you a higher score.

Need to find the measuring tape but it;s at least 6ft over my head. Obviously I'll reach and extend my arm (yes that's cheating) but i;ve hit it palm flat more times than I can count which far exceeds 3ft lmfao (NBA elite level not sure if srs)
