How to Hit a Volleyball with Topspin (3 STEP FORMULA)

[@DennisJacksonvts]

Thanks for watching! Are you good at creating topspin? Please let me know in the comments below! :)

[@GAMRNVRD]

Can u help me with net touches while smashing a ball that unexpectedly comes by accident off other team(1 touch thing i meant)

[@DennisJacksonvts]

@@GAMRNVRD Are you saying the net hits you because the ball rebounds off the blocker into the net? This is a legal play.

[@joshsblee]

This video unlocked my ability to hit. No other video explains it as this one does. Thank you so much, sir!

[@DennisJacksonvts]

I'm glad to hear this was helpful!

[@lotklear1379]

literally the first VB video I've ever seen where i actually learned something useful. Most VB vids are somewhere between painful and nonsense. but not this one.

[@DennisJacksonvts]

Thanks! I'm glad to help!

[@AnAveragePotatoGamer]

This is far the best teach of how the ball should be hit.. i am thankful!

[@DennisJacksonvts]

I'm glad to help! Let me know if you have questions!

[@helinadays]

A good tip I learned was to try and reach for the other side of the ball, I always get good hits after I practice that motion for a while.

[@quickblu]

Thanks for the video, I always struggled hitting the ball inside of the court. Will try this tomorrow!

[@DennisJacksonvts]

Let me know how things go and if you have any questions. I'm here to help!

Hey do you know how to create massive spinning force in a spike? Please do a video on that

[@1-FrenchVanilla]

I hit the top of the ball, snap my wrist, do everything for a topspin.. yet it ends up having no spin at all.. i think im born to be a floater type of guy in volleyball..

[@DennisJacksonvts]

You can do this. First, don't focus on snapping your wrist. Wrist snap doesn't work and I don't recommend doing it. For snapping to work you must time the contact perfectly. Instead of snapping, I recommend to focus on clawing the ball. To hit topspin you need the hand to be in a curved position when you make contact. If you claw the ball, you're in the curved hand position while you are swinging your arm. If you do this, you're guaranteed to be in the claw position at contact. Also, after contact look to see if your fingers are pointed downward. If the fingers aren't pointed down, then you didn't claw the ball and you won't create topspin. For more info about clawing, watch my video here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4WVhWZjbN-kpsk

[@aforallan112]

What part of the hand do you hit the ball for top spin?

[@DennisJacksonvts]

Palm and fingers should make contact with the ball.

[@zoupyzoup7989]

i get the clawing part, but how am i supposed to put force into the serve if im only able to hit the ball barely because i have to hit it with my finger bc of clawing technique

[@DennisJacksonvts]

Zoupy Zoup good question. The clawing is to create topspin and help you have better control. If you want to hit with more power, then don't claw the ball. You have to decide if it's worth giving up ball control. Think about what your goal is with serving. Are you having trouble serving over the net? Then maybe don't claw because the ball won't travel as far. Do you want to serve with topspin so the ball will drop quickly? Then claw the ball. Do you want to serve a floater so the ball will move around and be difficult to pass? Then don't claw the ball because when don't correctly, the ball can be easier to pass because it travels in a straight line. But it depends on who is passing. If you're serving to a team that doesn't have experience passing the topspin serve, then serving topspin could be a big advantage for you.

[@manmeetpoonia13]

Sir I have really good jump but during spiking I m not able to convert my horizontal speed into vertical jump. Can you please help me how can I correct it🙏🙏

[@DennisJacksonvts]

Sounds like you're jumping high because of strength but not because of power. Focus on increasing power by doing fast feet exercises or low impact plyometrics.

Why not brush up for topspin, like in tennis?

in tennis you hit sideways-- can you do that with your arms and hands?

HOW TO SIDE SPIN SERVE OR SIDE SPIN JUMP SERVE ???

[@jackwolfskin16]

MOMO SINGER snap wrist at side directions

[@jinsouwolf]

pre spin the ball in the way u want to curve the ball

[@lonji3526]

Hey I have a question. If I’m swinging slow I can create a top spin. But when I try to swing fast, it goes to float.

[@DennisJacksonvts]

Think of "clawing" at the ball. You want your hand in a curved position as you make contact. And wrap you fingers over the top of the ball. Look at your hand after your contact and see if the fingers finish "pointing down". If the fingers are straight after you contact the ball, then the ball won't have topspin. You want a curved hand/fingers for topspin.

[@lonji3526]

Dennis Jackson thanks I’ll try it out

[@ryanlowe6243]

@@DennisJacksonvts Love the claw concept, and fingers down finish. If I think back to the really good spin serves I've had, I know my hand was in that position. I'm so stoked to play tonight now and try this with my spin serve!

Many times when I serve for topspin or ace I can't touch the ball perfectly many times it hit my fingers or somewhere else bcz of it my ball goes out or it hit the net or it goes slow and fall down plzzz I want to solve this and even I can'thit topspin😔

[@DennisJacksonvts]

Work on getting the hand in a claw position. You can get the hand in this position real early (before tossing). Focus on wrapping your hand over the ball. Focus on looping the ball up high and have it drop down over the net. This will help reduce errors. As you get better at this, don't loop so much and focus on serving the ball harder. Also, if you don't have a net available, you can work on this serving technique to a partner or wall.

[@BruceXP]

for some reason the ball has very little top spin still idk

[@DennisJacksonvts]

Make sure you get fingers and palm on the ball. And the fingers finish pointed downward. Keep practicing and you'll get it.

[@BruceXP]

@@DennisJacksonvts thanks i’ll try it

[@darkoFNFN]

Does "snapping" do anything? Physics says the only way to get top spin is so contact the ball at the top You'd sometimes notice that you can snap and get heaps of top spin, and then still snap and hit a float How do I actually hit with top spin?

[@DennisJacksonvts]

If you hit through the center of the ball, that's when it floats and doesn't spin. When you miss the center and hit through the side of the ball, that's when you create spin. When you hit through the top part of the ball, that's when you create topspin. If you hit through the bottom part of the ball, you'll create backspin. I like to focus on wrapping the hand over the ball to create topspin. Same thing if you wanted to create sidespin. You would then focus on wrapping your hand around the side of the ball. In my opinion, teaching to "snap the wrist" is useless because the focus should be on how you contact the ball. Snapping is just guessing and hoping you contact it well. Snapping works for overpasses or for hitting a ball that's tight to the net to hit the ball downward or for situations where topspin isn't important.
