revjim27 · **Setting Technique -** 12-19-2007, 12:40 PM

While you practice focus on getting all 10 fingers to contact the ball everytime. This gives you more control.

Also there is a difference between putting up a good looking set and putting up a hittable set. Outside of getting called for a set your highest concern is getting the ball to your hitter. The prettiest looking set in the world isn't useful at all if its 8ft off the net to your OH.

A good set is anything that doesn't get called by the ref and gets right into your hitters wheelhouse.

I have a slew of articles on setting somewhere, but not all of the information is good. You kinda have to know what to pick an choose from each. I'll try to find them.

Some additional info from you would be helpful.

What are your goals? Are you just trying to develop technique so you can avoid getting called for your hands? Are you trying to become a setter? Is this exclusively for indoor/outdoor/both?
