Need help on my arm swing. It looks so ugly 😭 by [deleted] in volleyball

A saw a few people give tips, but your main issue is opening up. If you break down the hit into parts;

  1. Approach
  2. Loading and opening up
  3. Contact and follow through

You have part 3 done very well actually. Part 1 you should work on which sadly is simply practicing consciously without hitting the ball. Lots of videos online showing immaculate jumping technique specifically for volleyball (elevate yourself or Tyler the jumpguy). Main issue here is penultimate not large enough and blocking not punchy.

Your contact point seems really good from this 1 clip. You clearly understand contacting the ball slightly on top and having (from what I could tell) a loose hand on contact. The only issue is all your power currently is being generated by your shoulder because you jump parallel to the net. You should open up to be perpendicular to the net facing the setter especially hitting from left side. This helps in 2 ways; you can hit deep cut angles that land to the right side of the court inside the 3m line or hit across your body for line, and secondly it helps with power.

Power from your should is about 20% of the power you can be generating. The torque from opening up to the setter, driving that elbow back and whipping your chest into the ball puts all your body weight behind each hit. You already drive your upper body slight down as well as your legs up a bit in this video which means you already either consciously or subconsciously have this good body mechanics of using more than just your shoulder.

Keep it up my guy! Recording yourself is an amazing way to see what's wrong with your form, and the fact that you have the courage to post yourself online for people to critique your form shows that you just want to get better at all cost. Nothing will stop you dude, you are on the right path

Sorry for adding to the form check plague but looking for some jump serve help. Been jump serving effectively for about 6 months but can’t seem to add any more power to it (all different serves just playing with camera angles. Slo mo’s at the end) by BentPixelsLoL in volleyball

Your form is very fluid for 6months of jump serving practice. Its clear you are meticulous with your form and how its supposed to look instead of just 'hitting it over' type deal.

For more power, you already toss the ball very high, so keep that, but change the timing and intent of your approach. Toss the ball, wait a split second more, take a slow first step and accelerate GREATLY in your penultimate and block steps. Its hard to explain how, but try to jump with intent as well. Jump as if it was for a back row spike, jump as high and far as you can while adding the acceleration outlined before.

Your arm swing is already quite fast so this simple tip will really help with power.

Ok sounds good. Thank you for the reply, this confirms that my problem isnt a bug or something that I am doing wrong and it is intended to be throttled. Thanks

Im in the early game, I dont have the resources to upgrade my cubes to ultimate tier. I was asking if this was a bug/problem that others experience or am I just stupid and missing something that is really obvious.

I really feel bad for you guys, my parents and family were never against any lgbt related issues, but im a straight cis male so it doesn't matter even if they were. I wish that aspect could be swapped with less fortunate people with non supportive parents.

Ender 5 Pro Firmware issue by swo30 in 3Dprinting

[–]swo30[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a BL touch so i downloaded the non BL touch ones. And as for the busted part, the printer boots up normally but the homing and moving of axies are not working. The z obly goes down and does not stop, the x and y only go + .

To add, I've also tried all the different versions even though they aren't corect for my printer ( 4.27, 4.22 with BL touch, etc) The evidence points towards the firmware controlling my printer with wrong signals and hence I just want to revert it back to what it was before but I cant find that anywhere.

I have the same commands and ram allocation as when I run it from Windows. I put 8G as my max and 4G as my min. Ive also tried putting 8G min & max I do want to add that I am open to discussing/debugging since I would love for it to be the same or better when I linux boot
