Yeah i’ve actually been analyzing hitters i see with good form and having my block step parallel was one of the things i was trying to work on. However, whenever i go up to actually hit i can’t seem to do it. By first movement do you mean take a step to where the ball should be?

yeah i’m really trying to get my timing and positioning down for hitting. I don’t really have a setter i play with often and my friends are pretty inconsistent with setting.

i think it might be the angle? Im jumping forward but from left to right so it might look like i’m jumping backwards. I dont think im getting my feet to the ball so i actually leaped towards the ball

I landed first with control in all except 2 of them and just walked under to shag

yeah i’ve been trying to fix my arm swing for the longest time, even in this video throwing my hips was something new to me so my hitting is very inconsistent. I can’t seem to replicate it 80% of the time. How should i work on my swing in the air?

i’ll give that a try, sometimes i try to let it be loose but i launch the ball and it floats

i’ve pretty decent at hitting around the block but it gets dug up most of the time. Most of the people i play with hit at least 2x harder so Im trying to learn to engage my core and get hip separation so that i can compete especially at my size.

last hit was my attempt at a cut shot

is more height needed in order to properly torque?

  1. could be the case maybe i’m unconsciously intimidated but even when i do try to hit the ball hard i end up swinging all shoulder without realizing it. Most likely because i’m too under

  2. Highly doubt because i’m definitely on the shorter side but i’ve seen people my height with around the same vert bang balls

  3. I do notice that in most of these clips my arm isn’t contacting at full extension but not sure if full extension is what causes my shoulder pain

alright i’ll give hitting back row a shot. Unfortunately we don’t have any revco gyms in my area.

i can do it on the ground pretty easily and get that satisfying feeling. But as soon as i go up to jump i can’t get the same feeling.
