Can someone teach me how to spike?? |
Is the timing crucial?? What about the arm? Confused... Work on your approach without the ball. If you are going to use 3 steps and you are right handed, start with a big left step, then a big right step and then the small step with the left. (It is called the closure step. It will help you go up and not forward.) After you land, quickly go back to your starting point and do the approach again. Try about 10 as quickly as you can and then take 1 minute break and repeat. Try to do at least 100 approaches. You can not do an approach when you get the ball and think about your feet AND the timing on the ball. Your feet have to go on their own. Once you are comfortable with your feet, have someone set you. At least 100. Or more. Become best friends with a setter. They want to practice their sets and you want to practice your hits. Keep your arm straight, and hit the ball at the highest point, timing is the basis, and do not start your approach until you see where the ball is going to be set or how high is going to be set. Other advice, is to practice your wrist "slap", to change the direction of the ballwhen you hit it to avoid the blockers. experience Three Basic Types of Spikes; Approach is Always the Same An effective team has several different methods of attacks in their arsenal. The three basic attacks are the dink, the off-speed spike, and the hard-driven spike. The dink is an effective tool when your opponents have learned the timing of your attack. A well placed dink behind the opponent's front line will often demoralize the opponent and let your team gain the momentum. The off-speed spike is like a dink but delivered deeper into the opponent's court. The hard-driven spike is hitting hard with the idea of getting the ball to the ground as fast as you can. Whether you dink, off-speed spike or slam down a hard driven spike the approach to the ball should always look the same. Wait for the spike with your weight shifted forward and ready to move. Be careful not to start off to early and keep an eye on the setter until the ball is set. After the set maintain eye contact on the ball and start your approach when the ball is half the distance from yourself and the setter. JUMP REALLY HIGH!!, hit hard, while snapping ur wrist downward ME, AND COACH ok the 1st thing you need to know is how to approach and when to do it. to a approach you place you right foot infront of you left (if left hand do opposite) then take 3 steps one big one with you left then a medium one with your right then a small one with left. you should end up about a half a foot away from the net. you take off at the ten foot line. you start you steps when the ball reaches the peek of it arch when set or half waythrought the set. your left arm should be your guide and you right arm should be drawn back in an arrow then when you are about to hit and you have jumped off the ground straighten your arm out!!! never bend it!! then snap your wrist when you make contact with the ball. then you drop down to cover yourself!! just in case of a block |
