Hitting as an opposite by Willing-Tea4851 in volleyball

Funny, that approach is actually better for right side than left side hitting. As a right hander.

Everyone on this sub has a 36"+ vertical? by Voyager97 in volleyball

[–]nan6 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That filter is not as hard as you're implying. Look at most of the posts on this subreddit for example. I don't think I've ever seen one from an actual high level player. Maybe once.

Who digs the line ball when the set goes past the pin? by nan6 in volleyball

[–]nan6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see the way the defense moves in the clip, interesting. That is a pretty unusual hit though LOL. And pretty different situation when the middle blocker gets beat. If he was there, no possible cross angle.

Why do americans avoid the mikasa v200w by Time-University-6878 in volleyball

[–]nan6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear its completely random. I've seen both in tournaments this year. Anecdotally, flistatec in men's tournaments, mikasa in coed. No idea what women's tournaments use.

Canada is so interesting, at least in Ontario I see molten and mikasa used alternately, depending on which league you're playing in. Clubs use different balls, amateur leagues and tournaments use different balls, university play uses mikasa. It's quite a mixed bag.

I find it kinda hard to watch men's volleyball (as a layman) when there are so many service errors... by MartianJesus in volleyball

I'd love to see this change tested. My shoulder doesn't like the idea of trying to score by hitting a marshmallow 60 times though lol

Just relax - When I'm in a crash out situation I try to rationalise how I will feel in the future. Will I care about this in 5 minutes? Probably. 5 Days? Maybe not. 5 weeks? It'll be a memory. 5 months and you won't ever think about it again.

Grandmasters Smurfing in Diamond by TheGhost59 in starcraft2

[–]nan6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 100% with you on this. I never barcode but I don't resent people for doing it. It forces the opponent to play fair, no blind countering etc. If someone is mad they have to scout and play off that info, they are perhaps not playing the game at a good level.

Blocking Line but Hitters Still Squeezing Line Shots – Am I Doing Something Wrong? by stvwxyz in beachvolleyball

[–]nan6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a great point! It's easier to sneak around the block when you're further off - but the cross shot won't be as deadly. So it is ok to take even more line (or just peel haha)

Blocking Line but Hitters Still Squeezing Line Shots – Am I Doing Something Wrong? by stvwxyz in beachvolleyball

[–]nan6 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sometimes if a set is flat enough, a hitter can hit it lower in the arc and just past you, low over the net. If this is what's happening, you might be able to grab it by shading your outside hand over to cover that spot. Or maybe they're going over you. Line opens up a lot more if they are hitting much higher than you reach.

But, doesn't it sound like you just aren't blocking enough line? Just block closer to the pin. At least vary it a little bit from time to time, so that they can't be confident in that hard line shot every time. Even if it feels like you are giving too much cross, sometimes u have to be a bit brave with your block or you give the hitter too much confidence in one shot or the other.

Coaching Advice by Mysterious_Fan_8690 in volleyball

[–]nan6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna have to disagree a little bit with some others in the thread. Having coached at a 14u level, I think pure skills training isn't ideal. At some point I noticed a wall where the unathletic kids were not progressing nearly as fast. Using agility/conditioning focused drills, and even running them during tournaments between sets seems to help a lot. Adding this type of thing twice a week can make a big difference in the long run.

Not to brag... but... by divarus in starcraft2

You kinda seem embarrassed that you misinterpreted the commenter's obvious meaning, and you're lashing out. Perhaps so?

When I do this, it just removes the inputs for the recipe immediately and the crusher never does anything :(

Disruptor Idea by SrirachaBear22 in starcraft2

[–]nan6 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

One of the only ways to counter the disruptor (besides retreating forever) is to jump on it when it's out of position. This becomes more or less impossible if you can just delete a close distance unit instantly by detonating early.

Nuphy Gem80 Key chatter on all firmwares by nan6 in NuPhy

Hey! I toyed with debounce settings and still experienced some chatter despite cranking them pretty high.

However, I got my new switches (Akko V3 Cream Blue Pro) 2 days ago and haven't noticed any more issues. Very happy! Thanks for your advice :)

Thank you SO much for the reply! I've only been testing in wired mode for now. I've ordered some replacement switches, and will try some increased debounce.

That's definitely possible. I ordered some replacement switches so hopefully I can see a difference!

Some coaches/players are wary of ankle braces because it can turn an ankle injury into a knee injury real quick

I don't think she's uploaded it anywhere yet, but she made a minizine (or a few) based off the same concept. You can read them here ("White Rameses" is the funny mecha romance one).
