  • This super basic tip about the hitting motion will most likely change your life!! Every professional player does it, yet we don't teach it to our young players. It makes no sense.
    This tip will make your players hit harder AND it will save their shoulder by preventing injuries.

    I play on the UK Division 1 team while my family and i are deployed overseas and this totally changed everything for me! I used to hit pretty hard but far away and now I can spike it down to the 10 meter line!!!! Thank you so much!!!!

  • @biggestkkfan1506
    @biggestkkfan1506 Před 8 lety +490

    I have experienced that a very common mistake is that the hitter does not have his/her left foot in front and the right foot behind to be able to turn their hip from back to front to strengthen their hit...good videos btw, maybe more slow motion would be helpful in some scenes too.

    • @JumpVolleyball
      @JumpVolleyball  Před 8 lety +62

      +biggestkkfan Thanks so much for your comment and more slow motions are definitely we can add because like you said it will help people to see the detail we want to emphasize

      wut wut????? how do you even jump if your left foot is not in front( if you're not a lefty i mean) Like you legit can feel it's wrong when you jump that way. I think the most common mistake is the lack of practice thats it... The timing is really hard to learn for some other than that jumping with all your might left foot in front with your arm with the right motion should do the trick

    • @DatNguyen-ph2zr
      @DatNguyen-ph2zr Před 6 lety +5

      WTFGAFS do you know why it is hard to hit with their hand extended all the way and have goofy foot work? Because they have terrible coaches and trust me. There are a tons of those coaches out there....and now when you try to fix it. Its not easy.

    • @julianullrich5633
      @julianullrich5633 Před 6 lety +4

      I think he means they jump with both feet at the same position mostly, it is a common mistake beginners do.

  • @mayamottinger6411

    @jonathandaze1417 Před 7 lety +21

    good stuff! pitching is exactly like an aggressive attack mechanic...the body, core, and torque are the engines; the arm and wrist are simply the steering wheel. love the angles to elevate highest contact point rather than just remaining square and flat with shoulders. cheers!

    I wish my coach taught this to me. He always said "hit at the highest point of your reach", but never explained how that is done. Now I have chronic shoulder pain because I swung down vertically for years and years.

  • @grzegorzmolin
    @grzegorzmolin Před 2 lety +1

    Man! I was thinking about the strength of my hit yesterday and how could I improve it. I came to the same solution, about hitting the ball in more natural position for the shoulder, on the right side and not straight in the top (for the right handed). Today I typed it into youtube and the first video is telling me the same thing! Thank You so much, really nice video, I agree 100%! :)

  • @user-xz2wj5bx9o
    @user-xz2wj5bx9o Před rokem +1

    I asked a collegiate coach a few years ago about swinging like this & he said it was wrong. He said the shoulders should be equal height & the non hitting shoulder should not dip lower than the hitting should. But clearly swinging this way allows for an even higher contact point, as well as involving the pectoral muscles to create additional power. As a volleyball coach myself, I teach your method all the time & the players continue to have amazing results.

  • @40beretta1
    @40beretta1 Před rokem +1

    This is seven years old....about how long I have been arguing with coaches to follow-thru "across the chest"... At our daughters H.S. I did an unscientific non-professional side by side hitting study, using the Boys baseball Speed gun... what ensued; When the girls followed thru across the chest...the ball was faster, and they said it felt like they were hitting the ball harder. One of the Girls (our daughter /DS /OH | 5'6" (yes; 5'6" OH (her vert. is amazing) follows through across the chest.. this also helps with quik line hits and doesn't hinder her ability to "go" short, to the 3M line. I implore you to break your young hitters habit of pulling the arm down her side. She is losing power and will have Scapula strain and shoulder issues...
    it is argued the Tennis server is the nearest to the VB attack swing... I think its a toss up from throwing a ball and Tennis. both, tennis and Base(soft)Ball finish across the chest...

  • @pedromarques2650
    @pedromarques2650 Před 7 lety +3

    Hey,
    First off your videos have helped me a lot to improve my technics this last couple of years, since there was no one really good enough to show me and my teammates how to do things properly, so thank you very much :)
    Secondly are there any tips to help me avoid high blocks except feints or my obvious blockouts? Because i am a wing spiker but am only 178cm tall so kinda hard to get over blocks, so i either speed up the tempo or block out or fake, but it gets old pretty fast in a game with their midle blocker. I got a pretty strong spike and if the block gets late i can spike the ball almost on the attack line but if the block is there it becomes really tough... Any advice?
    Thank you again and great job :)

  • @jose929
    @jose929 Před 8 lety +5

    I don't think it's so much a "lean" by itself. The lean is a result of the torque which generates power. Hips & shoulder rotation into the ball as you described in the baseball throw example.

  • @Recomification
    @Recomification Před 8 lety +21

    Too bad, too late for me. I could have used this 3 weeks ago when I had to help out as an outside hitter. As a middle blocker on my level I rarely hit hard. But training and playing as an outside hitter with the wrong technique hurt my shoulder in no time.
    I've actually learned it the "wrong" way, similar to what Andor Gyulai shows in this video czcams.com/video/8DmclwLNh_s/video.html (following through on the same side of the attacking arm)
    If I should recover from my injury, I shall become the greatest hitter with this tip! Else I'll require more libero training tips :D
    Thanks LP!

    • @JumpVolleyball
      @JumpVolleyball  Před 8 lety +3

      +Recomification That's too bad. I know a lot of injuries happen because of bad technique, I'm sorry to hear it was your case. When you get better, make sure to follow that tip and you will see a difference for sure. Enjoy playing the game at a different position in the meantime. Thanks for the comment by the way!

    Since you asked for suggestions in the video, I'd like to make one. I never played competitive volleyball growing up; no school, no club, pretty much nothing but backyard stuff during BBQ's and the like. I have been playing in coed leagues for the last few years and have a mean vertical according to my teammates. My mechanics have all been learned while playing. I really would love to know what drills or lone workouts somebody like me should begin doing to improve. What would you teach someone who needs to unlearn incorrect form?

      +Fisticuffs Thanks for the suggestion.
      Breaking bad habits is very hard. When you play, you are focused on reading the play, reading the trajectory of the ball, getting your body behind the ball, preparing your arms to contact the ball...there is not a lot of room for thinking about you technique.
      When I was young, I fixed my hitting approach by doing it all the time and everywhere. I would do it walking to school, in my house (reaching for the ceiling with my elbow), as soon as I walked into the gym. I think that's the way to go. Think about what the ideal approach and jumping technique is and then simplify it into 3 cues that are super easy to remember. Then do as many approaches as you can while repeating those 3 cues in your head. You will be slow at first but the more you go, the faster you do your approach. You don't always have to jump 100% but the approach speed should be as fast as the space allows.
      Repeat, repeat, repeat...there is no secret...just repeat the right stuff though ;-)

    I've been hitting straight up and everytime I try to spike (Never actually had a good hit yet) When I come down, my shoulder is heading, specifically that bone.. So ima start opening up my arms and hitting it at a arched angle now

    Is more angle nessecarily better? I have can get my torso more than 60 degrees from upright, and I can hit harder from that angle advantage as well. Only downside is that I don't really know where to go from there, as I can only hit where I'm facing because anything else feels a weird grinding in my shoulder.
