Fast Hands vs Slow Hands - Volleyball Tip of the Week #32

[@TheClarissamac]

These tips are great. Really appreciate them.

[@JumpVolleyball]

Clarissa Machado You are welcome! Thanks for taking the time to write this comment. I will do my best to bring you the best tips in the future. What would you like to learn about?

[@TheClarissamac]

I am a setter - so any tips on setting is greatly appreciated ! Thanks so much !

[@JumpVolleyball]

Clarissa Machado Absolutely, it is noted!

[@blobpoop457]

I set way better with slow hands because it allows me to control the ball. I kinda relax my wrists when the ball lands and I stiffen them for the pushback. How do you do fast hands without giving the impression of hitting the ball ?

[@pupupurin143]

I fasthand but some spikers are to slow so I have to backhand set or slowhand.

[@josephalberthernandez3845]

yup so true

[@mapleguyms66]

was wondering if more could be done on the subject. im currently playing setter and have thought about issues as such but was never able to really get what i could change to improve , but the video gave me a direction in which i can work towards,but im having issues making these improvements, so for example whenever im trying to do the fast hands the ball might get some random spin on it or probably not even passing through my mark, was wondering if some more tips could be given. thanks

[@MBrosTheMLegendBB]

Spin might indicate one hand is going faster or slower thsn the other

[@flynntwomey8190]

Yeah spin means that one hand is hitting the ball faster than the other think abt still bringing it in without bending your elbows

[@thetjsanders]

It is also normal that when you attempt to speed up your hands there will be some inconsistency at first. Completely normal. Trust the reps, put in the work, and then it will become clear where things are breaking down.

[@henshinkamenrideable]

I feel like being able to do both fast hands and slow hands would be a good skill cuz u can change the speed of the play

[@JumpVolleyball]

+Nickftw27 Interesting point of view but let me challenge you here. If as a setter you change it up between fast and slow hands, what do you do with the timing of the middle attacker and to a lesser extent, with the timing of your outside hitters on quick sets? How will they know how fast your hands will be?

[@LunnarisLP]

I think it's pretty hard to do fast hands, if you can't do slow hands. It's like hitting a quick. You really have to be able to hit to do that one in the first place. Or a back attack or anything at that. I don't think you should really change it just within the game for no reason without your team knowing though. Maybe for a back attack or something, idk..

[@camilapalacio8083]

@@JumpVolleyball True!

[@PKZ21]

[@charmedcharmed3511]

I always vow to achieve fast hands, knowing the reasoning behind, but it's not as easy to be consistent, not to mention to trajectory's angles play a role -- meaning if you can't get to the ball at the perfect position, your setting angle (for me) flattens a little (rainbow when you want high), which means the ball travels a bit too fast with fast hands. Any ideas to improve on that? Thanks a lot.

[@moBacon]

cool demonstration. took me a second to note the difference, but at their level it's more obvious. definitely something i've seen before, but never put thought to. my hands are so atrocious, i'd be happy to have any level of consistency tho.

[@-ice_-icey1886]

how do you make no sound with fast hands

[@alisonduff1751]

Can you do some more tips/videos of things I can do to improve my hitting by myself at home?

[@ruthuparnashetty5783]

how should i practice at home my fingers hurt when i try!

[@Jigsao]

tahnks for this video, I've understand a lot about our setters and why I prefer some setters to anothers. But could you explain what is the difference when hitting a slow set vs a fast set ? I do understand the ball's trajectory is slightly different, but what do we have to change to hit these balls ?

[@JumpVolleyball]

For middle hitters, it makes a HUGE difference because of timing. Also, like Brock says, it's easier for hitters to connect with the setter. It makes a big difference when you start running a faster offense compared to setting high balls.

[@manparichannel3786]

This is very important.... please make otger setting tip videos as well..... and thanks for this video..

[@FacePaintForum]

[@JumpVolleyball]

What about LP lol?

[@DylanZhai]

FacePaintForum true

[@jackyluo]

would a good rule of thumb be to always have the ball be above your forehead when you set? (like including your forehead in kinetic chain when transferring the force from your legs) this way your hands wouldn't dip down as much and more force would be transferred?

[@thetjsanders]

YES! We definitely don't want to "break the chain" of force we have generated. Having "recoil" which is shown by the slow hands clearly does.

[@wanadzhar3031]

Hi there! I'm an amateur and didn't really get the difference. Does it have something to do with not "absorbing" the ball ie. having fast hands mean that the time of contact with the ball is minimal? Thanks :)

[@kaveag]

Yes, that's right, but it's true on the video it looks pretty much identical with this setter.

[@charmedcharmed3511]

[@mwsc]

Awesome. Exactly what I needed.

[@junefrancisregudo9122]

are we going to avoid slow hands??

[@JumpVolleyball]

+june francis regudo In my opinion, slow hands can be use to teach fast hands. You can do variations for your setter to understand the difference between both. Ultimately, I would encourage your setters to have fast hands. It is in my opinion more conducive to success at a higher level. What is your opinion on that??

[@elcelosanto]

hi. i just start playing higher level. I have issues to play fast balls backs and outside any more videos for the right technique. do i need to setr from a higher point to get the ball faster? and not the arc ??/

[@PedroHenrique-zl2ol]

ok, I've understood most part of it, but what can I do to have fast hands? is there some other vídeo explaning the movement? some training or drill that helps developing it?

[@sand9346]

To know how fast hands work you gotta know how to set slow. A slow set uses your whole body for the set, you absorb with your fingers wrists and elbows and push out with your elbows. Making the set really clean and slow, this is mostly used in doubles because you don’t need to trick out the blocker and the sets are much stricter. Fast hands absorb with your fingers and you push out with your wrists. This makes the set fast but has a higher chance of getting a spinny set, but indoors setting rules are pretty lax.

[@choppertonytony3702]

Watch dennis jackson he explains fast hands and how to do them and he has a free online course and stuff. If u have any questions just comment and he usually answers within the day. Good luck im also trying fast and slow hands shit is hard 😭

[@jaikishan2648]

can you please make a video on how to save ourselves from netting while setting

[@naotowatanabe3446]

Thanks, I reaaly needed to improve my set

[@manparichannel3786]

thank you....

[@mwsc]

“Creating a world of trouble”. Interesting thought.

[@qcstoked1352]

Can you ever release a video about how to get fast hands?

[@MohitSharma-cd4lk]

These tip are helpful

[@arjitmishra5039]

Sir please make a video to how to increase vertical jump while hitting smash and perfect jump to hit the ball please sir

[@zackd2852]

Aren't slow hands considered a "carry" or a "lift"?

[@Rhonniel-Alcantara]

If you toss the ball below to your face, or maybe you toss it in front of your chess, that's considered as lifting. But if you toss the ball up on our forehead, then that's okay, just immediately set the ball.

[@aybanbeliran5865]

These are helpful

[@nknxt1]

So we should avoid slow hand always?

[@angeloiv4965]

+nknxt1 I think it would be up to the hitters to decide what type of set they like. Some people hit fast, some people like to slow down and use power... idk, maybe :D

[@JumpVolleyball]

+nknxt1 Great question, It's just because slow hands also slow down the tempo so when you do use fast hands and you move your feet to get under the ball, it's easier for you to have a consistent set and for the hitters to just go and hit and now have to think about the set

[@JumpVolleyball]

+Ariam R Very good point. If you watch a higher level of volleyball, are they using the same type of sets or are they setting faster? The reason I say this is because at a higher level, the set will most likely always be fast because the hitters trust that the set will be there. From a hitters point of view, it's also easier to hit a set that is faster because you have less chances of having 2 blocks on you...resulting in an easier hit? What do you think?

[@ZhyenLee]

its situational thing...fast set not always good and slow set not always bad..

[@munnamichael7774]

upload a clear slow motion setting vb

[@SteveMcMief]

What do you mean with "problems with your connectivity?"

[@sig3363]

"Connect" I believe it refers to the set and the attacker correctly timing himsell/herself to it.

[@FreddySheinfeld]

Slow hands look pretty much like beach volleyball sets, correct?

[@JumpVolleyball]

+VR1040 Music The major difference with Beach is that players setting a beach volleyball will often have a vertical trajectory. You can see in the slow hands example that the setter is bringing his hands down a little bit. The emphasis of this video is to really keep the hands high because that will allow the setter to be deceptive. The key is to keep the same tempo all the time and using fast hands makes it easier to connect with middles.

[@PadmaYouTube]

Nice setting

[@franciskylebulabon1908]

Does it depend on the play like quick, B quick for fast hands and slow hands for open sets?

[@Avicenna_76]

At high level, you need fast hand to set 2nd tempo to wing spikers.

[@riyanshuyadav8553]

nice lift👌👍

[@markomitrovicf29]

You forgot to mention how that affects to opponent middle... :)

[@peterchristenson]

Slowhand like Maja Ognjenovic could freeze the MBs at the center of the net. Even when setting to players with high ball like Mihajlovic or Boskovic, she could still make a running set.

[@japadogi]

So, that slow hand is not threw ball?

[@sand9346]

Late response but it’s just an illusion that’s it’s being thrown

[@earlangelocruz5011]

Lifting is an illegal move in volleyball.
