      For over hand serves at my school, no one knows what top spin or floaters are except my two friends who play travel. We were taught to just toss, two steps, then hit it. Almost everyone serves a floater. It sucks so much cuz it’s so hard to receive

  • @birdtookafly
    @birdtookafly 4 года назад +22

    I didn't really know anything about volleyball but everyone told me that I should try it so I did, I was immediately good for my first season. My serves were good, my passes, my sets (although I didn't know how to hit). Then I started watching haikyuu, it gave me so much motivation I can't even explain. I practice every single day and I never give up. Haikyuu really did something to me and I don't know what it changed, it gave me something, and now I'm unstoppable. Everytime I walk on the court everyone somehow knows my name, every serve, pass, set, there's people yelling my name and I don't even know who they are 😳 I'm going into 8th grade and I've had my jump serve for about a year now, I've learned how to hit and I'm still practicing them every single day. I set to myself around the house and I've become obsessed. I love to learn from my coaches and I just love volleyball in general :)) Thanks for reading my story 😂

    Update: 6 Years passed and I became a well rounded player as I played Opposite, Libero, and Setter for my HS team. After watching this video through the years I've practiced my service constantly during training and based on my self actualisation I became one of the strong consistent servers on my team. Now I'm in college hoping to use the skills I've learned and now currently trying to enter the college varsity team. Wish me luck 💅

    After a month and a half of learning, I finally learned how to a float serve. Now every time I do it, I get this amazing feeling of satisfaction when I see it floating randomly in the air with absolutely no spin that increases greatly when I see the receiver having trouble deciding how to hit the ball, which then feels EVEN better when I score an ace. Thanks man, you really helped me! Next stop, jump serves!

    Honestly. I've watched a lot of your videos and everytime i watched one, combined with what i watched and learned for haikyuu i got better, yet i never came across this video. Ever since i started volleyball (around 1 and a half year ago) I've been struggling a lot with services and i figured that i was lacking strength (I know it's stupid but i thought that my technique was good. P.S it was trash). My point is that after 20 minutes of trying everything that you said in the video (not even joking), I managed to get my first floating serve. (170cm middle blocker here btw). So all in all, thanks a lot. This is one of the happiest moments in my life!!!

    PLEASE READ THIS thre is a very easy way on how to serve (even if you don't have any power in your hands😂) you just throw it low and than do 3 or 2 steps and than just use as much power as you can. i had a lot of problems before i figured that out.

      It's not on the hand. It's on the shoulder and right leg. Strength comes from right leg pivot and shoulder with strong palm.

    • @michaelg8841
      @michaelg8841 2 года назад +9

      Hand strength isn’t it. It is your shoulder, core, and leg. Arm strength can help, but it isn’t nearly as helpful to work that out as your shoulder, core, and legs.

    I want to honor "Smitty" Duke I also knew him as "Doss" former Olympic competitor at the 1968 Olympics, and got a silver medal for the national team in Colombia, he had a great number of accomplishments that are worth looking into. He would drive from Eureka Springs Arkansas to Fayetteville Arkansas 2 times a week to play some incredible volleyball with the Ozark Volleyball Club, we called noon ball. He made extra 50 mins trips to come and teach me one on one some of his excellent skills. He had a float serve that could drift 5 feet, this put nerves in the best passers for sure! God rest your soul Horace Smith "Smitty" Duke, thank you for your kindness and passing on you expertise. Also I'm sorry I was so shocked by your perfect diving save set into the bleachers that I was unable to spike that perfect set, please console him Lord Jesus.

    When I serve, somehow it ends up with a top spin almost all the time. That could be because I may not be keeping my palm stiff. I will try the suggestion in the video and keep my palm flat and stiff rather than loose. Hope that will help.

    Hey #CoachDonny
    This video was insanely helpful, but I was just wondering on how to practice the impact point of the ball and the bottom of your middle finger. When I hit it, it's usually like a spike, or it hits the bottom of my palm. The ball doesn't get much spin but I just can't hit it at the right point. Do you know anything that can help, or should I just keep practicing my serve until I can finally hit it correctly?
