The glass analogy is great as someone who is just stepping their game up the touch on the ball is very key even on the serve receive passing can not be stressed enough to newbies
True! Yeah, the glass analogy has helped me tons in setting, but funnily enough I haven't used that visualization in serve receive ever! Hmm, I think I'll be running some mental experiments later today on the court! :D
i guess im randomly asking but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost the login password. I would love any tricks you can give me.
@Kade Matthias i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out now. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I play beachvolleyball and golf and never thought about doing what I do in golf in beachvolleyball. When putting in golf I always visualise where the ball is going to go. I will try this in beachvolleyball and se if it works for me. 😀
Hahah nice! Yeah, a lot of times we forget how much we can learn from other sports and transfer them into beach volleyball. I more or less realized this from playing disc golf myself! :) Let me know how it goes! If it doesn't work well, then it's quite probably there is a problem in the setting mechanics/technique, because there are crucial parts also in that category!
So if the pass has a lot of spin on it (usually backward spin), how do you make contact to neutralize it? A quick contact or a slow contact and try to guide it?
Good question! I am not sure I have all the answers, but the answer I have is that under a certain speed of spinning, the right move is to try to guide it with a slow contact, the spin will stop from that and the ball still go where it should. But a super fast spinning ball I instead think that the best way to do it is to "continue the spin" with the platform..! That way you will have no "spin friction" between the ball and your platform and the ball will go where you guide it, rather than where you guide it +- whatever the "spin friction" does to the situation. It's a bit tricky to "continue the spin" and still aim your bumpset, but it's possible to learn. I have no accurate way of describing how much spin is "too much" for a normal bumpset so that one needs to "continue the spin instead", but I know one can build a somewhat accurate feeling for it just from experimenting with it. Hope that helps!
great video! it helped me a lot, but I still have problems bump setting when the ball has some weird spin on it after a defense; do you have any suggestion? thank you ;)
@@newaccount6936 Thanks! :) Haha this might sound weird, but the only way I have found to bumpset balls that spin a lot (if they just spin a little you can just ignore the spin and bumpset with a "prolonged contact"/"imagine ball is fragile" and it takes the spin off) is to actually use the platform in a way that would create the same spin as what is already on the ball. So you basically just "continue" the spin, not really taking any spin off, not really adding spin either, just "going with" the spin that already exists on the ball. It's a bit tricky in the beginning and it's a bit tricky to decide when the ball spins so fast that it's needed vs not, but I think it might be the solution to that problem you mention. At least I have never heard any ither solutions (but I would be all ears if someone had one!)
@@LearnBeachVolleyballFast thank you, I've never had to focus much on bump set because I prefer hand setting haha, however I wanted to solve this problem and I tried for a couple of hours in my garden lol hahah trying your technique and other ways ( like swinging more arms/ less and so on) your technique works but I found it out difficult cause with some weird side spin is very hard if not impossible to create the right angle to carry the ball where you want; another way I found out is to simply ignore the spin, use more body and arms swings directing imaging where you want the ball to be; it's very hard to explain, you have to dominate the ball with your body/ arm movement but you have not to be too rigid/give to much force or you will enhance the spin and the ball goes everywhere haha, it's not about the force but the harmony of the movement itself; I found out that when you do it well the ball goes out with less or totally none spin in some cases !
@@newaccount6936 Nice, I love the dedication! Yes I think I know what you mean with "dominating" the ball, it's like you need to have a soft/long yet still assertive contact with the ball kind of. Did you find that it worked even if there was "insane" spin on the ball? Because I think I use this "assertiveness" when the ball kinda spins, but then play "with the spin" when it "really spins", and I find it definitely takes some reps before the accuracy is there with the "spinning with the ball"-technique, but that it's not impossible..! But I have to go out and try the "assertiveness" also on balls that spin a lot! :)
@@LearnBeachVolleyballFast i have spent another afternoon trying to experiment this technique putting the craziest spin I could on the ball( pov: nothing to do better ahah): I have discovered that normally, if the spin is quite intense but not excessive, looking for prolonged contact with the ball works even if the main difficulty in this sense is to give height to the ball; normally I proceed like this: I position myself with legs bent perfectly under the ball and I build my platform without being too rigid and I arrange it parallel to the ground, from here prolonged contact to remove the effect and simultaneous push of the legs and arms and this is enough for me in most cases; in the case of really intense spin I have seen that this is fine, but not enough at all, then I tried to classify the spins into categories (top spin when the ball comes towards you, backspin when the ball moves away from you and side spin where the ball spins more on itself): let's take for example the case in which I am the libero and I want to lift a ball in position 4 from the center of the court: if it is a ball with back spin in addition to the technique of absorbing the effect I give a slight push of the arms and legs towards position 4 since the ball tends to go to the opposite side of the court, vice versa for the top spin. as for the sidespin I noticed that it is the one that apparently scares the most, but in this type of ball the rotation parallel to our arms is less, the greater one is perpendicular to our arms (as if it crossed horizontally with our arms to form an x): the rotation that creates problems is the one parallel to our arms so we can treat these balls as low spin and the ball will come out of our arms with the desired trajectory although with a strange lateral spin; the only problem I noticed with this type of spin is that the ball must be caught perfectly in the center of the arms, it is as if wedged between the two inclined planes that our arms form when they join together; I think that people who have arms that join totally or almost can be very advantaged in this sense: if the ball is contacted badly it ricochets to the right or left in a chaotic way: this is the result of two afternoons of experiments ahaha, I don't know how accurate it is technically, but at least for me it works quite well, I think that this type of technique can also depend a lot on the type of arms that one has! I hope I explained myself well hahah
@@Yuky-Pak Yess true! A long time now since I played videogames, and when I did I wasn't smart enough/cared enough to start analyzing it at a movement psychology/inner game of tennis level hahah, but this makes complete sense to me now! Thanks man! I will! Bigger and better things on the way! 🤩
awesome analogy with the glass ball! thx a lot
Hope it helps! For me it was a game changer at least! :)
Thank you so much for spending the time to create these videos 🙏🏾
Thanks! Appreciate that people see the effort! :)
I love this guy so much
Haha thanks, I hope! :)
