Donny, I was a volleyball coach myself, and one thing I would like to share with you is before you swing your arm to make contact with the ball, tug in your other arm with palm/fist into the center of your chest, this way your can turn faster and generate more power as you swing and spike the ball. You will find yourself have more control and can hit harder when needed. Hope this helps.
@@elephantmocha4104 I believe he is talking about your off hand, the one not hitting the ball. So that hand can have something to do and be more controlled.
@@isaacmasterpro3116 yeah that’s what I’m hearing too. Kind of reminds me of a figure skater when they bring their arms in they can really rotate/spin. Donnie does bring his arm down just not as tight as the op suggested.
+ElevateYourselfNow So nice having a response from You ! Of course Wlazły is outstanding striker, everybody are missing him. But we are looking forward for the future because we expect Michał Winiarski to come back to the team, and also we are waiting for Wilfredo Leon, who is obviously cuban, but want's to play for Poland. After these two reinforcements we should be able to claim the throne once again. Until that time, I will be playing volleyball remembering all Your advices, sharing this knowledge (and videos) with my friends, and I hope for more and more videos. But tbh there is so much content on your channel right now that I hope You will figure smth out to keep exisiting on yt for another months/years :) Keep well !
Thanks Donny. I watched this before my Thursday game last night and I really improved my spike. I have really been hitting wrong for a long time. Because of this video and a few others I have fixed my approach, keeping my palm open, and keeping my wrist loose instead of stuff. Huge improvement! I got some really great spikes.
+Elevate Yourself Definitely! I wonder if you have made or can you make a video on how increase your air time while spiking? That would be really great to most of the semi-pro players
@@Nyx8118 what the other guy said, you just have to jump higher. Check out Isaiah rivera, pretty good source on the most scientifically modern way of increasing two-foot vert.
Being a new member of a highschool team. Ur videos made me the 3rd best ace in singapore highschool. Lots of love from pasir ris crest secondary school in sg
One of the things I"m trying to get better at is seeing the block and just vision in general when I am hitting. I think that would make for a great video!
great video! didn't think about spin earlier. But I think it might be helpful if you showed somewhat a comparison between top spin, no spin and backspin ball floating examples.
Thank you for this vid...having no spin on my spike is always my problem because as a middle blocker i usually smash the ball down rather than putting spin on it..but because of that my services becaame slow and easy to recieve
This video taught me so much Donny! Not sure why...but my contact point is always near the the bottom of my palm and sometimes on my wrist...could be that i'm jumping way to early...but by keeping my hands relaxed was one of the maor key i had to get used to :)
I just wanted to say I love your videos. I share them with my players all the time! Thank you for doing these videos and sorry it took me so long to subscribe. I've been a fan for a while. Keep the videos coming and I will keep sharing them.
Hey Coach Donny. Can you please do a video on how to adjust to a tossing error when doing a jump float serve or a topspin serve without hitting the ball into the net or out of bounds
Hi Donny. Thank you so much for all the tutorials. I learnt a lot as I am beginner. Can you please explain how do i avoid tiredness as continues jump takes more efforts.
Wow! These videoes skipped my feed, and this explains a lot! I have a tip for you! If you have or know someone with an Iphone 6 or 6s (Not sure if Iphone 5 has this), you can use the slow function on the camera. It will capture up to 240 fps in action, which is perfect for a biomechanical analysis! As you probably know, slowing down regular footage to try and show contact point of the ball will make it quite blurry. We just tested this feature at school and it's pretty amazing! It should be easy enough to transfer it to a computer through your USB, and then mix it into other footages (Note: I have no experience doing this myself, but it was pretty easy to do at school). Hope it helps!
can you please create a playlist just for drills. Theory from tutorials is great but if you can make a set of drills for spikin, serving, setting etc. That will help alot when practising. secondly Make a set of at home drills in backyard for people who doesnt have access to courts.
Hi coach Donny may you teach me how to increase my vertical jump and by the way thanks for your videos they are so effective very helpful thank you very much
Hey coach, I noticed that there are a bunch of people who say that snapping the wrist isn't actually possible because the contact with the ball happens too fast, as stated by a research. What do you think about that? They say that you just have to hit the ball over the center to make it spin but during the downball exercise it seems to me that you make the ball go high (not like a spike) and you still manage to make it spin, but it doesn't seem that you hit it over the equator
Thanks for sharing mate! I have just some doubts about directing the ball under the net. I have already seen that and for sure is a good drill to improve snapping, but i always wondering if this could be dangerous for young players, by learning a way to hit ball that never happens on a volleyball court. I usually put them one to one forward with the goal to directing the ball above the net; in alternative, for a good snapping, i put them against the wall, sometimes with an obstacle located at about one meter. What do you think about it? Thanks anyway for your precious contribute. Ciao
About spiking, if you are not tall enough and your hand is below the top of the net when you jump, do you contact below the equator of the ball so that the ball will go up & over the net?
Hey Coach...I have seen the videos on footwork, timing, arm swing and contact...do you have a simple breakdown of ball location when spiking. I see mistakes where people either get under the ball and spike it long or are too far behind the ball and end up spiking it into the net. Was just wondering if you had a breakdown of proper relationship between the hitter and the ball when spiking.
Hey coach Donny! just a question, if I'm around 5 feet 2 can I still be a spiker? If not, which position would be better for me? i really like volleyball but I wanna do the best I can. And thank you for all your videos they really help me!
very informative videos thanks for sharing. Just one question I am not that tall and cannot jump as high where should i hit the ball for it not to go outside? the other techniques you mentioned is below and above equator, on my case what will you suggest?
Donny, i hear conflicting instructions on hitting the ball some other coaches say to contact with meaty palm first but you say base of middle finger. can you explain the difference of instructions
Hello Coach Donny!!! ✋ I Have a Question, what training Should i do to Jump Higher? Thank youu. All of your Videos are so Helpful in terms of my Sport 😊
Ngl, I still am completely lost. I’ve tried doing this advice and practicing it over and over. But I just can’t seem to do it. I don’t know what to do. I have solid contact with a relaxed hand. I’m snapping my wrist. But I just can’t get the ball to spin
Hey Coach Donny! I had a question about how to correct my bad ball contact. Without a video to show it, I'll try to explain. As a middle hitter, I find myself constantly spiking the ball half with my palm and half with my wrist. I'm not really sure if it's a matter of keeping the ball further in front of me, not extending my arm, swinging too late, etc. Any suggestions or things to try? Appreciate any feedback you have!
Coach I snap my wrist but I still can't get the ball to have some top spin. I'm just confused because won't the ball spin backwards If you are snapping forward? Can you please explain? Haha....
Yeah I can't get topspin either. It's probably just about technique and practice though. But I think you have to snap your wrist kinda through the ball so it rolls forward instead of backwards. Still can't do it =/
Hi Coach Donny, First of all I want to thank you for all of your great videos. They help me so much! Secondly, I have a question about topspin on a ball: how do you get the ball to clear the net when putting topspin on it, behind the ten-foot line? In my experience, when I put topspin on a ball (or try to, at least) the ball just arcs downwards and never clears. When I hit the ball far back enough, I can't get it to clear unless it's a floater. Another question about spiking in general: is a jumping spike/hit always a better option than a standing hit? Sometimes I have more control over the ball when I don't jump and just hit the ball, and even though it may not be as fast or as steep (in terms of angle) it's still pretty powerful (or about as powerful as I'm gonna get, being a complete beginner). I'm 14 years old and 5 feet 11 inches. But thanks to your videos, I'm working on improving my jump height anyways :) Thanks again! --Anthony
Hello, i still dont understand the snap your wrist part. And also i have few questions. Where is our hand contact point? If i want to spike topspin, where is the ball's contact point? I'm a short player, so i can't hit down when spiking. At most i can hit it linear , so where should i hit the ball?
Hi coach Donny I have a question. I have consisten footwork and I would think consistent arm swing but when I hit the ball it goes straight out. I’m 6”2 and I have a high reach but I can’t seem to hit into the court. Same thing from back either that or into the net. What can I do to improve or fix that?
I have this problem where I can't toss the ball, I can't toss it up straight when serving and when I spike I go too early and plus I'm weak, can you do simple exercises at home for arms and legs please, thank you.
Donny, I was a volleyball coach myself, and one thing I would like to share with you is before you swing your arm to make contact with the ball, tug in your other arm with palm/fist into the center of your chest, this way your can turn faster and generate more power as you swing and spike the ball.

Iam kinda confused do you mean with your offhand after you swing your offhand down instead of going to the side go to your chest?

yup, the sound alone is distracting for diggers.
I've been searching for a video like this forever! Thanks so much! It was very informative and helpful.
I didn't know the main contact point was below the middle finger, I've been hitting my spikes with the center of my palm all the time, thanks coach!
yeah this video is very helpful because coach always keep trying again to explain, in just for us to know how to do spike properly
you made me think my internet was getting slow lol
