Getting Used to a Setter?

[NewEnglandRT]

BHDP how dare you speak his name! I've had that guy in two tournaments

A: I'm going to be at the career fair up there in a couple weeks we should meet up.

B: If you always get a different setter in pick up, just ask them for real high sets. This way you've got time to adjust.

C: It's absolutely natural to get a better rythm down with one setter. My Men's team is training a second setter and all of us are having to adjust... alot. Good setters get to know their hitters and can set them in ways to make them hit better (even if the hitters don't know if!).

D: Play Yankee!
E: Where are you from @ home?

Ha, I'm guessing he's not your favorite set of hands then, huh BHDP?

NERT:
Yeah that'd be cool. I'll have to look at when the career fair is and see if I'll be around.

I'm from Pittsfield, MA. If you know Springfield, MA at all, go further west about 45 minutes and you'll come across my part of the state.

Welp, goin to play some pick up tonight. I'm gonna tell my "team" to set me higher than they expect, in order to compensate for some poor sets. We'll see how that goes.

Not only do you have to get used to their sets, they have to get used to you as a hitter. One setter I play with often sets a lefty middle. The first few balls I get to swing at often have me bending mid-air into unnatural spinal configurations.

You know you love hitting middle lefty. I just don't want your big 6'5" arse crashing down on me so I push the ball a little. I've seen the damage you can cause colliding into people in the back row (NERT can testify). If you just adjusted your approach to the left they would be right on for you.

Sooo I'm back at school and back to my setter, and I couldn't be happier. We'll see how things go on 2/2 when we play our first divisional tournament.
