Volleyball Spiking & Hitting Technique including Form

[@ddrdork808]

holy moly, tried this technique last week. best playing in a long time. thanks a lot!

[@brucecon]

My opinion is that if there's anything at all a beginner needs to do first (as part of the contact phase) it is to learn to bend your wrist back as indicated in this video. This is the key component to putting a good spin on the ball that you can use from anywhere on the court. Excellent video Andor!

[@AndorGyulai]

48 and still play twice a week, crushing balls. My son is now 16, and the best player in the 10 local schools as a sophomore. Please keep telling me low elbow is better. You can suffer from baseball elbow injuries and I will keep hitting sharp angle. 😂

[@stormfox81]

10 years later and still so useful, thanks!

[@krido97stardoll]

Thank you so much for this video, I was doing the wrong way of spiking and thats why i wasnt abled to jump most of the times. Since ive watched this video ive applied your techniques in my volleyball training and im actually improving big time. Thank you so much, your videos help me a lot. Your the best ! ;]

[@suapaiadiva]

I love the way u coach...everything actually works when u walk thru it first...thanx

[@SpecialBooksbySpecialKids]

I played against him yesterday on the beach and I can vouch... he hits hard!

[@vyzsical7094]

I cant tell if this is serious . If it is then its pretty funny bcuz this dude would be hella old lmfaoo

[@AndorGyulai]

@@vyzsical7094 yeah 45, and still crush balls! :) I will post some video of me crushing balls at 45! :)

[@AndorGyulai]

Thanks for the message! See you at JAX beach soon!

[@vyzsical7094]

@@AndorGyulai iM SO SORRY, I didnt mean to be rude but man, 45. Ill see u there

[@Dandylocks]

BIG thanks Andor, No one ever showed me the proper technique to hitting, so before your looking at your video i had all kinds of timing issues with contacting the ball due to the way i drew my hand and elbow back. But now that's a thing of a past and i've improved a great deal as a volleyball player. PS. The way you broke everything down step by step was awesome. Much thanks!

[@drjorgepatrick]

Hi Mr. Andor! Congratulations for your tutorial. I´m a medicin student, and in college we have a team, most of the guys are just players, little had god bases of volleyball. Thanks for the video, ´cause my Coach noticed that I´m not reaching out my arm. And I´ve been difficulties to spiking and hitting. So, I´ll try your video.

[@commandernation]

Ayye Mann ty very much, I learned a lot from this, hopefully I can use this tomorrow in my tournament 😊

[@JasonMcGarva]

Wow, this video has corrected 6 years of doing the wrong motions in only 6 minutes. Thanks for putting this up! This is exactly the kind of precise instruction I was looking for.

[@Pavanpavan-vn1kn]

Tried this technique today and it was the best game I ever played! Thank you!

[@emily_2599]

This video has actually really helped me be a better hitter! Thanks!

[@aurora12901]

How can I practice timing my approach so I hit the ball at the optimum moment? I can do it when setting to myself, but not when receiving an actual set.

[@invictuz4803]

I think a good tip is, it's better to start your first step later, then it is to start too early. Then from that first step with the left foot, you just speed up your second and third step with the right foot and left foot, depending on where you see the ball.

[@stephensuarez4774]

I hope this can help me a lot.

[@Lovelyzoe08]

He is very right many people do spike how he described it i never noticed this, but great video very informative im going to try and spike the correct way now

[@mukundathakali5281]

thank you for your video it taught me a lot today

[@Raj53kty]

thank u very much andor this video will help us a lot and our tournament is in just 5 days so this will help us a lot...

[@magesh7702]

Learn to spike from at least a foot behind away from the net and spike like you serve with topspin. It will never land within the attacking line. But will be a useful spike if you hit to the corners.

[@Rudramsahu_rs]

Sir very good and easy to understand the thecniques

[@MrTimitus]

Thank you for the techniques, it helps a lot and i hope i will be a better player,

[@Kris3k7]

Does bringing your arms up have a great effect in spiking? I mostly don't get a check ball or it will go outside.

[@MadoleVc]

excelente explicación y me va a ayudar para ponerlo en practica y mejorar el remate de ataque saludos

[@georgegao4098]

Great info. I am 42 and have been wrong on spiking for many years.

[@joeya50]

@Camry Higgins the problem isnt that your putting to much power into it its that ur not snaping ur wrist as u contact the ball snapping ur writs causes top spin which helps the ball sink and hit the ground so keep ur hand nice n lose like u gonna slap someone and hit over top the ball The other thing u could do is a float serve

[@atheistonavmax7873]

What are the names of the other 6 videos for the spiking technique? Do you have them numbered or something?

[@jake143112]

thank youu soo much for sharing your knowledge on volleyball.Good thing i watch this video now i know how it goes and how to serve it with power and force. PS. i like how you explain it step by step and now ill follow this to become a better volleyball player! practice makes perfect.

[@laurenmackenzie1341]

When in the air about to contact the ball should the legs be bent back or straight up and down?

[@cathleenharmony9568]

Awesome question. I wonder too XD lol

[@AndorGyulai]

Lauren Wimberley You should be piking forward legs straight on contact! kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3KolqiXqsephdU A entertaining video to motivate! :)

[@shaunn02]

When you jump legs bend but when you're about to reach height climax you legs should straighten.

Thanks this vid, helps me to increase my jump while spiking

[@yasirali-1232]

Very well taught

[@aqila3006]

thanks a million ,it was very useful for me.

[@akhalafaou]

excellent video

[@manishtadem768]

I want jump service which I can understand please share a video

[@wellthatshilarious23]

If you do left right left (the common 3 step approach) you have to go forward back forward unless you want to hold your arms behind you. However, yes, he is correct if it's just a two step approach.

[@kevinramdx6631]

Good teaching

[@kallurisiva6716]

Great explanation sir😍

[@9015Gaby]

@AndorGyulai1 Im a freshman in highschool & im trying to make the Varsity Team next year.. Im pretty good but could get better. Any ideas on how i can get ready over the summer? Thank you! (:

[@Arjun-my7nt]

thank you sir

[@brit18495]

amazing video , thanks so much !

[@kylehartman4293]

great video - thank you, really made it easy to understand and perfect.

[@mr.tickle1590]

When you hit a volleyball, how is your hand contact at the ball? (i know u hit @ palm, then snap the wrist) but i would like to know how to break it down specifically. Do we hit at center of the hand ( knuckles level) or at middle of palm, or at the end of palm (near wrist area level)? Thank you. Where we generate more power & control?

[@Volleyball1on1Videos]

Steven, have you seen this? kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKK1h5uLnbdqmLs

[@mr.tickle1590]

I've seen this already, but there something still not clear to me because the way i spike is straight down over the net/ block (cuz i can jump really high). However, i saw someone short & they jump only over the net just couple inches, but they still hit a ball topspin really good (& sometime i couldn't block it)(let's assume no angle here).

[@sumanpradhan7107]

thanks for tips sir

[@bjsempre]

thank you, amazing!

[@Funkleps]

thank you! this helped me alot

[@PsicFranckAyon]

4:15 I've teaching some teenagers with that left hand move... And got a lot of critics bout that isnt a natural body form or move... Is there a profound argument about that? I think that is kinda practical but dont know how to explain it...

[@calebcerquena]

I have never seen anyone doing that "Non-Dominant Arm moving to the Chest" part.

[@kekoatecson1413]

thanx alot my form is terrable but i can huvver people say so that helped me with my thought about it

[@yoursandmine4770]

thank you very much for this video...

[@k_woozidan]

Thanks for the tip :D I was really bad at spiking when i was Grade5

[@attaurrahmanmohmand3650]

in block when you up you have to look to the hitter hand or to the ball ?

[@Dobidobidapdapdadapdapdarap]

hitter hand probably :-D

[@ronaldocercet6006]

what should i do after hitting the ball, when it's too close to the net, i often touch it.

[@keshavchetule5264]

good coaching video

[@ramyasanthosh2629]

Do you teach personal training.. if yes please let me know the location.

[@МилошКавић]

AWESOME !!! THANKS FOR THE TIPS !!!

[@stelioskolomvounis]

Hello Andor!! Congrats for the video. I have a question for you. I am a Physical Therapist and I have a patient (beach volley amateur player) with persistent shoulder pain. I believe he is not have a good technique in beach volley and I was looking for youtuve videos on that. My question is: what does your experience with these athletes say? The strength of the hit comes from the arm or from the shoulder movement mostly? Is the arm rotating towards the other side during the strike? Are the the core (abs and back) muscles rotating during the spike too? I believe my patient is giving too much attenion to his hand and arm and not at his shoulder, shoulder blade and core strength. What is your opinion?

[@Volleyball1on1Videos]

4 parts to power, 1) Wrist, 2) Triceps 3) Core 4) Rotation - Throwing motion... All are important! But #4 most important to avoid injury. The thing to remember is if you can use all 4 effectively it is easiest to create power without have an injury. Look at my other video on hitting with power. Hope this helps!

[@decentantonio]

Hi Andor! Thanks for your videos. They improved my technique considerably! I got the question on the elbow. I've seen some pro players (Dante Amaral, Giba, Endres Murilo) dropping their elbow below their shoulder before a hit. Is it OK? If not how do I practice high elbow? Thanks

[@ekssdii]

I'm A a Rookie, And I Want to Know more about spiking a ball. Thanks for this Video :D

[@brucecon]

Good video of Giba hitting: 'Giba Great Attack'. Didn't expect to see him dropping his elbow before hitting... and he didn't ;-)

[@brucecon]

Think about where you are contacting the ball. The bigger the wrist snap, the more spin on the ball.... so bringing your wrist back further should help.

[@sSxtremeskillz]

I have to switch to a left handed hitting motion and serve cause of a rotator cuff injury. This video was helpful in adjusting me without me cutting corners and such. I'm actually hitting better now! Thanks!

[@jessejdb]

BESSSSTTTTT VIDEOOOOOOOOOO EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR GOSH...I WANT U 2 COME 2 EGYPT & DO COURSES I REALLY NEED THAT!

[@tenzinwoeser3793]

Thanks sir 🏐

[@sushilgsharma7]

Very helpful video

[@brucecon]

Quick suggestion: focus on positioning yourself under the ball. From this position if you're a little late or a little early you should still be able to do something with the ball. As your timing and leg strength improves you will be able to do more of a broad jump (traveling forward in the air) before striking the ball. Remember what he says at the start of the video... spiking is one of the hardest techniques to learn... it will take loads of practice.

[@Zephyr1968]

Probably the most fundamental tip for spiking. Everytime I struggle it gets back to a full armswing backwards before I jump. Get alligator arms and results in no power, vert lower and you end up drifting by every set because you have no momentum to take you vertical. You can always improve your spike but if you dont let your arms swing back its all brute force and ugly....basically load your arms. That solves 70% of issues. Your chest will stay up, will see the court. Drive the ball, jump higher. Seen plently of athletic people that dont swing arms be a fraction of what they could be. Then high elbow. Low elbow, circular is splitting hairs.

[@dorjooyesukhei9823]

Sometimes it happens that When somebody trying to hit the ball so hard thats makes your hand to hit the thing between own legs. Not all the time but sometimes it happens. Something to do about it? and also having the same power during the spike?

[@NTipsy]

thank you very much

[@karlschmied6218]

Good explanations but I'm missing something: the bending of the head and upper body to the left. You almost never see a good hitter with a vertical torso.

[@Sweetrainbowbridge]

i get the technique but the thing is when i jump ready to spike i cant measure when the ball is low enough in order for me to spike the ball OR when to jump and sometime i jump too late or too early. how would you fix this?

[@camryhiggins3016]

I'm a 5'8", 11 year old girl and my volleyball coaches say I serve WAY TOO HARD! And I was wondering if you can do control your serve video? Thanks:)

[@presetsbyesbee3922]

Great sir!

this was a great vídeo

Dear Andor, please upload a technique to contact on the ball while warming up

[@curtisreeves7248]

guys I recommend another video since doing this motion will hurt you quite bad

[@yashchaudhari4014]

Nice and thanks to be telling

[@emilyhouse2479]

I was hoping to see a demonstration:/

[@matthewchapman3507]

My coach is constantly trying to make me spike the ball by pulling my elbow back first, and every time I do it I always get a really weak spike. Guess I should show her this video. I knew I had the right form!

[@vbp13]

Do high level players (olympic; professional) swing with their off arm tucked in? There's a really good slow motion swing video with the title "volleyball spike, hand swing in slow motion.mp4"

[@chelettejung6492]

Very useful

[@zygimantasbulaitis5215]

Thanks, that helped.

[@lukettw]

I am not really tall to make perfect powerful spikes. Any ways to improve my jumping ability?

[@moonlitnic]

You should do plyometric workouts. Like squats, single leg angle hops, standing long jumps, standing jump over benches or like hurdles! and it should increase leg strength and your jumping abilities! I hope this helps, cos i did it for track and it really also helped me with volleyball.

[@kt-xy5zo]

I'm 5'1" and i have a 24" inch vertical (still improving) Last year I had about an 18" at the beginning of the summer. I did crossfit and worked out on my own all summer long and it really helped. Just do plenty of leg workouts, but don't neglect your arms because a good vertical means nothing if you don't have arm strength to get the ball over the net.

[@boklogz33]

awesome

[@ilhammalik4264]

i've problem, when i'm spiking, the ball doesn't hit my hand but my wrist, am i too early or too late? but anyway thanks for the video :)

[@Kerrzbds]

It sounds like you might be slightly late so the ball is dropping before you are able to swing to hit it. It could also be that you aren't watching the ball well enough to get the hand-eye coordination well enough. Once you time your approach though, you should be able to make contact a bit better. Be sure to watch the ball - years after playing I realized I was merely estimating where the ball was and hitting it rather than keeping my eye on the ball and consciously hitting it (so I too had a lot of 'wrist hits').

[@laylalopez6476]

Ilham Malik make sure to start doing ur "approach" when the ball is at its highest point

Hi Vincent, is your hand open on contact? Also where are you trying to contact the ball when hitting.
