[@agoldenmuffin1944]

I sometimes accidentally roll the ball off of my fingertips when trying to set/overhead pass. How can I stop doing this?

[@betteratbeachvolleyball]

Thanks for asking!!! Try this, it might be an easy visual. Make a diamond with your hands by touching your pointer fingers together and your thumbs. Now make all your finger tips touch and then push your hands out so that only your pointers and thumbs are together. This should kind of simulate your hand and wrist motions for sets except that diamond should spread and the ball should fall in that space between your hands/fingers. If the ball falls in that diamond space and you eject it using the diamond spreading motion from before, you should start getting better contacts.

[@agoldenmuffin1944]

[@betteratbeachvolleyball]

We've been trying to find a way to come to chi-town and run some beach clinics. Know anyone we should get in touch with?

[@tonyvball]

They kind of brushed over some things. First in playing volleyball you need good footwork. When you are setting you need to get your entire body to the ball and the ball should be at your forehead slightly in front of you. If the ball is to your right, left, to far forward or back it will be a bad set. Like they mentioned you need to have you hands open, thumbs down but they are not together, you are making contact on the edges of the ball, if your hands are too close together it will be a bad set. Finally, if you are anything like me old and slow, unless you are in great position to set the ball correctly just do yourself a favor and bump set😊

[@betteratbeachvolleyball]

hahaha... love it and definitely great notes! Thanks for watching and joining in. Old and slow maybe but we're sure still handsome and smart ;)

[@jcsmooth70]

This is great lol! I've seen a lot of balloon hands in my day lol. One big tip is definitely to where the pass it first and setup before you go for the the set.

[@AdamConklin]

Pulling the thumbs back in step 4 is a great tip that I found very helpful

[@betteratbeachvolleyball]

Glad we could find something that resonates! Some people, especially kids like to use REINDEER ANTLERS for this visual. Good luck and let us know if you have any video suggestions

[@bacougle]

Another good video guys. Wondering if you have a video or can do a video of illegal touches during the game. The only ways to receive serves, and illegal hits and defense. The rule book is not very thorough on this or at least it seems rather light. We constantly have discussions about whether a touch was legal or not. Cheers brad

[@vbsand5882]

Nice Stoklos head band!

Everything old is new again!

[@zakdigital]

Thanks for explaining #5. Always thought you were allowed to bring the ball down for a quick kiss.

[@betteratbeachvolleyball]

To clarify, a TINY dip is fine. But you just can't catch high, drop low, then release again. Loose wrists not flexy elbows !! Thanks for watching! Let us know what you want more of.

I learned by breaking at the wrist (toothpick open close door motion) instead of bringing the ball down, I absorb it with that motion. Thoughts on that technique? Some players call me on holding it too long or catching it.

Finally got a good technique down today!

[@betteratbeachvolleyball]

Whoop whooooooooppp! Good to hear!! What got you over the hump?

[@bgjh5149]

I’ve started doing a little hand sync to help my finger positioning on the ball. Also, (thanks to ur setting vid) I’m using my legs and wrist snap to generate power rather than a deep elbow bend.

[@betteratbeachvolleyball]

@@bgjh5149 that's awesome. One of the guys in our closed competitive group in Hermosa Beach has recently made the same change. That, hand and wrist action is letting him set higher with so much less effort. The body is just a ton of rubber bands all connected to each other and it's important to use them when we have them.

[@omes02]

Awesome video. I've definitely witnessed these 7 sins.

[@betteratbeachvolleyball]

Thanks Omar! Do you have any other ideas for videos?

[@omes02]

Better at Beach defensive positioning would be a good topic

[@sqrints6311]

I always wanted to be a setter. Thanks for this, it helped me fix my mistakes. (Anyways I love haikyuu!!)

[@katustitus]

I keep doing the lean back when I set. Watching you set I'm starting to think it's because I was taught to try and receive the ball at my forehead, whereas watching you if you don't catch it you'd receive it at your jaw, but more importantly in front of you. I'm keen to try and reposition to see if it makes a difference. If it doesn't, any suggestions?

[@sotilashylla]

Cool🤟👍👍

[@betteratbeachvolleyball]

thanks! Let us know if you want us to cover any other topics

[@hahaitsrichard]

what's amazing is, even your bad sets looked good

[@florianw.560]

Thanks for the tips! One question: Do those rules also apply indoor, or is it a different kind of setting?

[@betteratbeachvolleyball]

The answer to that question might be a little diverse. The current state of indoor calls for very fast releases so that the defense is always playing catch up.The hand pocket for the ball should not be so deep in indoor and the "catch" position should be higher on hardcourt or 6's. Crab Hands, Slapping, Balloon Catcher, Dainty Lady, Rockaway all apply... The peekaboo (very fast contact) has its place in indoor but you still wouldnt pull them out fast... Lastly hands in indoor CAN be a little bit more stone like but the wrist flex still needs to be available for quality setters

[@lucaschindler8270]

Better at Beach outdoors its the same, you Show only mistakes and fouls

[@alfandosavant4639]

Oh my god! I've been a slapper this whole time 😱

[@bacon6734]

Does this go the same for indoor volleyball?

[@Blake-gh8xl]

Great video!!!!! Just wondering if I need a 6 pack and shave everything, ya know to be more aerodynamic when I set? But seriously good video

[@betteratbeachvolleyball]

hmmm, possible!

[@digitalmatrix01]

I always see the lean back for back sets.

[@saltysquid0074]

At first I thought this was going to be an anime video

[@betteratbeachvolleyball]

[@kishkrip660]

Does these methods only apply to beach volleyball??

[@carsonreed7256]

i did every single one of those mistakes except that last one

[@TonyaS]

Working on getting those thumbs back. Don't want crabby hands!

[@betteratbeachvolleyball]

Don't want crabby anything!

[@Blake-gh8xl]

But a more serious question with how ur hands finish, u spoke to not do the rabbit hands and some other limp wrist hands when u set... u mentioned to finish same and similar to how u receive with hamburger hands. Now I started with indoor and being coached by females, so it was all about the Hershey kiss receive and the superman finish (wrists extended out, like superman).... does a person just need to work on wrist strength/mobility and practice to get that strength without extending into the superman hands?

[@waldmeisterwassereis]

Does number four also apply to indoor volleyball? I always thought I had to use my fingerprints to set a ball but I rather should slightly touch the ball with my index fingers?

[@betteratbeachvolleyball]

DEFINITELY still use your finger pads for both sports. Using the finger PRINTS as you say is very necessary but in beach because we can slow the ball down a little bit more so the ball sits deeper in the hands. ONE key that CAN help is allowing it to just brush the second segment of your index finger WITH the fingerprints still on the ball. I hope that helps

[@waldmeisterwassereis]

Better at Beach thank you very much for your reply!

[@bluesus3655]

I always had my fingers like rocks because I thought the way you do it is a float...

[@betteratbeachvolleyball]

The ball shouldn't spin but you can take spin off and still release at the same time so you don't get a double. :)

[@Johnny-pm4ts]

Do these apply in indoor volleyball?

[@betteratbeachvolleyball]

NOPE. almost not at all

[@volcer]

love the videos but what about being in a cover position for your partner if they get blocked?

[@betteratbeachvolleyball]

Absolutely critical! Can't forget that.

[@enso6898]

Can leaning back still be good though? Like faking a back set but you’re actually setting forward?

[@betteratbeachvolleyball]

There isn't as much trickery right now on the beach but it's moving that way. Deception comes more from looking the same way every time and having the ability to do all things from the same position. Best to master the basics than focus on "trick" plays. That's our vote. But play your game and find what works for you!!

[@enso6898]

Better at Beach thanks for the information and thanks for replying! I’ll keep that in mind

[@jdecibelvideo]

What about a rockaway backset sometimes i lean way back to get it across the court.. "Then i pull up my pants 😆 " because i don't dance

[@betteratbeachvolleyball]

We'd be friends in real life

[@gordonjudd2345]

How much rotation is allowed after the ball is released?

[@betteratbeachvolleyball]

Rotation actually does not matter! A double is based on whether the ball was contacted with both hands simultaneously, or one hand first and then the other. There is nothing about spin in the rule book - you have to actually see one hand contact the ball before the other hand to call it.

[@birb9254]

Everytime i set my fingertips makes a sound that shouldn't exist and it feels like I'm not doing it properly. Any idea how to fix this?

[@betteratbeachvolleyball]

Try setting some.light medicine balls. The weight of the ball should help force your hands.to mold to the ball. If you try to hit a medicine ball with stuff fingers when you set, it's gonna hurt.

[@tobiokageyama8773]

I only do the "Rockaway" set when the ball has gone too far back and my balance wouldn't be settled to move back or even just turn around and dig it.

[@jasonthe1andonly42]

When i watch indoor players set it seems more, quick. Will i be called out for a carry or lift if i set more like this... if that makes sense.

[@betteratbeachvolleyball]

Indoor is definitely a quicker release! When I played indoor overseas I would set like a Beacher and the other team would always beg for a lift call. I just told them they were confused because indoor guys aren't used to seeing beautiful saucy sets :)))))

[@nningyz_]

is tossing in indoor and beach volleyball the same? anyone, pls enlighten me 🤧 thanks

[@imxleepy5061]

So this is where kageyama learnt setting from

[@betteratbeachvolleyball]

He definitely came to us for advice

[@zachlara]

Just getting into doubles and it is rotating partners, maybe a 7 Deadly Sins of a doubles partner, teammate?

[@birdo54]

So when you guys are showing how to correctly avoid slapping it in step 2, the guy on the right is doing a "basketball followthrough", which you said not to do in step 1.

[@betteratbeachvolleyball]

Thanks for the message Jamie! While every catch and release is slightly different, in our opinion there is room for slight modifications based on where you need to set, how far and how fast. So you might see the fingers falling forward or slightly out, but the main point of #1 is not promoting a motion of ONLY FLEXION AND EXTENSION of the wrist. If you make an L with your thumb and index finger, imagine flexing your rest into the "corner" of the L. The finish of that motion is barely half an inch of difference but the direction of the wrist flex will play a huge role in your success.

[@pitasasirom5297]

So this video is a mix of haikyuu and the seven deadly sins? Ok. I like that.

[@justenhansen]

How come volleyball is all about hitting the ball crisply, cleanly, and not handling it too much, and then with setting all that goes out the window?

[@angeloskougias7315]

but shouldnt the hands go from triangle to square? 1:20

[@novalights6909]

I'm a slapper/stone hands lmao. I noticed it, I just... Havent fixed it? I dont know, I think i just get too excited to be playing haha.

[@betteratbeachvolleyball]

I started as a junior in high school and all the girls TAUGHT me. I would eat as fast as possible and then some of the girls on the vb team would always be down to pass, set, hit (pepper) during free periods. Go for it!

[@riancarl5239]

Yeah sometimes my sets are like the slapper ones lol i just get anxious that i might hold the ball for too long and get an error from it.

[@betteratbeachvolleyball]

@@riancarl5239 here's a great trip that coaches will love you for if you can a0ly it. Usually we have a comfort zone and when we make changes to skills we push the needle just a tiny but but it still stays within our minds representation of how the skill should be. If our coach is changing us, they clearly SEE we aren't doing it. So when you are making a change or a coach tells you to try something different. Go as far as you can to the end of the spectrum that he or she is talking about. Make a HUGE change. It stops the coach from having to repeat the same thing over and over and it'll push you outside the zone that you are in. When making changes. MAKE HUGE CHANGES and then see if someone tells you you've gone to far.
