Taylor is such a G, even though he is one of the top players in the world, still looks super humble and basic-ish!!

[@socrateskarampateas5908]

I am impressed too with his personality! That's how athletes should be!!! You two guys are amazing also!!! Thanks for the good vibes!!!

[@mikegoins345]

I truly admire and respect you two for the passion you bring to the sport as well as the unique perspectives that you freely give during your breakdown videos on every aspect of the game. Also, it is refreshing to see the brotherly friendship you two share that is obviously genuine and extends beyond family blood. Thanks for all your videos.

[@tkielion]

I absolutely love that you guys talk about the mental aspect just as much as physically how to do things. My Dad always told me sports are 90% mental 10% physical. We always write 90/10 on the bill of our hats to remind us. Love the content.

[@janeblack520]

I love this, 90/10! 😃

[@DJSmitty7]

Just finished my first season of beach (any volleyball really) but I'm already good enough to be asked onto some of the better teams in the area! These videos make it really easy to understand and put into immediate practice. Thanks you guys!

[@christianmartinez6680]

Even though waking on to sand with indoor shoes hurt my soul, I love the commitment Madison and Taylor had XD.

[@jcsmooth70]

Much respect for this video guys! As an indoor and beach player is always gonna be a struggle to keep your timing for both. All I can say is play both all the time lol.

[@Jbrown9553]

Thanks for that drill! I struggle soooooooooo often with waiting for the set. Then I can't adjust if it's not a perfect set. Love the mindset, it's my job as a hitter to put every ball down, regardless of the set. Great video!

[@paulperez1094]

This is so true as someone whose recently been transitioning to sand, I keep thinking of it as timings and predetermined spots the sets should go 🤦🏽 thank you for changing my perspective!

Thanks for the tips guys. Indoor player here who played 3 times a week religiously and maybe twice a year on the beach before CV. I started playing more beach a few weeks ago and felt like an I diot everything I went up for a hit. Finally starting to get the hang of it.

Hey ya, this is me writing a nice little comment and saying thanks for the amazing videos just in general. I've mostly played indoors but recently picked up beach and it's a lot of fun!

[@jordanflores5486]

What a great video guys!! This video and the one you guys did a few weeks ago will be used as a starting point for our kids. This information is very useful and can add clarity to a lot of people!! Glad you guys used TCrabb too!

[@thakursaab4050]

What you said in the last 10 seconds is very crucial , I figured out after a long time . Mentality should be to go for the ball and not wait for it , because it’s gonna come down faster and you’ll miss it and hit the net . If you go for the ball then you hit it at high point . I just play with this thought all time .

[@janeblack520]

I’m brand new to sand volleyball and I LOVE IT! Thank you so much for your awesome videos that are helping me to have a better understanding of this game!

[@bangatangsports4199]

Hello McKibbin brothers!! I've been playing sand volleyball for 1 year now (2 years indoor) and ever since I started I found you guys on KZbin and have been a fan ever since! Love seeing your personalities on camera and the competitive matches you post! Keep up the great content, quality is awesome. After playing sand for a year I've worked my way up to A level and was wondering if you guys play/meet with fans when you tour? I live by the Cleveland Ohio area and thought about going to the next Avp tournament that is close-ish. I'd love to hear back from you two! Stay awesome!!!

[@Caught803]

Thank you for making tutorial videos. I feel myself really improve by applying these skills even in indoor games. I didn't realize the reason why I couldn't see the block was due to being too early. I look forward to your future tutorials!

[@jackyluo]

oooh great video! this really helps clarify what to do when hitting! (both indoor and beach)

[@daaronconer8989]

The first video of yours I watched was the hitting video with Crabb. Seems fitting to see him in the start of a series.

[@barney3834]

Thanks guys for this. I love the extra effort of bringing in another perspective, another shot at explaining the importance of getting your feet to the ball. I still hear Taylor putting his face right into to camera saying 'no. 3 get your feet to the ball!' I am afraid, there are many other videos in the making before this returns, I felt I needed to ask you this about getting your feet to the ball: What you show and say including that nice drill is mostly about adjusting to sets that are off but only to far in or out (i.e. to far left or right). To me what happens more often is setters trying to compensate being late, rushing past the ball and then by overcorrecting pushing the ball away from the net. Or simply being afraid and not pushing far enough. I think this is far more difficult for the hitter because it lengthens or shortens the approach. Can you say something about sets that are off this way and how to practice that @The McKibbinBrothers ? Maybe here in the comments ? I really think this is something we see at tourist, amateur and pro levels alike albeit for different reasons. Like serves to shorten the approach. How do you react to that as a hitter ?

[@barney3834]

@@themckibbinbrothers thanks man. This is exactly what I meant. Your answer makes a lot of sense to me now. Will think about some drills to practice what you just talked about. Watch the game, figure out a tendency, adjust: Rather give up a bit on an optimal approach, but be ready otherwise when the setter has tendency like that. Definitely makes more sense than blaming the setter, especially for amateurs who change partners a lot.

[@minde702]

Wonderful video, thx!😎

[@risemou]

[@ChocHo0o]

I think the biggest difference between indoor and beach is the philosophy of the roles. Indoor I set to feed my attacker and need to find them which means I need to watch their movements and their approach to give them the ball they want to attach. With beach even though the passer is also the attacker, the setter needs to only give a good height to the ball and not too close to the net to avoid an early block. There is so much talk about getting your feet to the ball but I think you can be a lot more effective in attack if the setter feeds more dynamic balls to match their partner's positioning on the court. You rarely see behind the back sets in beach which is also weird.

[@oofbigtime4175]

Love your videos guys, thanks! What's got you excited these days? I've been taking advantage of the forced reset that has happened with the local facilities being closed to rebalance my body in the gym. Currently, I'm slowly getting back onto the sand, still working on getting the feel back, but am looking forward to seeing the benefits of the gym-time translating to the court,

@@themckibbinbrothers So i have an idea for when after COVID is over. "The McKibbin Challenge Tournament". Free content. A sand Vball tournament for subscribers only, no pros allowed. Hold it wherever, but make it an open registration like any normal AVP tournament, but make the prize an opportunity to play against both of you the next day. It would be an awesome promotional event for your youtube channel/Brand, and absolutely FREE content. Just an idea!

Between indoor and beach which is the better professionally? Like in terms of how easy it is to get a team/partnership, how much it pays, and how good you have to be.

This video had extra laughs. Thanks guys. I especially loved Taylor in his indoor gear and getting introduced by the AVP tournament announcer. When I saw the "Batter's Box" clip, I am reminded to ask: Did you actually ever really play baseball? Your batting posture seems odd like you were faking it.
