I just tried your spiking technique and accidentally broke a lamp in my room...I would say 10/10 for power

Holy crap, you’re the first person that’s actually explained the seemingly impossible to understand correct arm swing. No matter how much I’ve researched or asked people I think I finally understand how to do it! I can’t wait to try the wall trick tomorrow and show my kids! Thank you!

[aliaaya]

That wall drill is just what I needed. This week I managed to get a sore shoulder due to that side arm swing motion, now I can improve my arm swing even better and minimize the risc of injuring my shoulder again!!

Going on a bit of a rant… I have a 6th grade daughter that loves volleyball. I don’t know volleyball fundamentals so I’ve been following Coach Donny for about two years, teaching my daughter these fundamentals and she has exponentially gotten better every year. But there girls at our high school varsity level that teach her bad habits and tell her to not do some of these techniques in the mini-clinics they put on. My daughter has actually gotten in trouble for critiquing them for their spiking technique. I tell her to ignore them because that’s why they don’t compete at a high level and don’t make it very far in tourney play. Thank tou Coach Donny

My daughter is 15 years old, right-handed, & undersized (5'6") for an OH. She's struggling with getting her left arm down near her stomach or her side (almost as if she doesn't have enough time to put it up, then get it down before hitting the ball). She also bends to the left in the air too much. Very similar to what you said about cheating during the wall drill explanation. Please help. Oh, and you should know, you're a hero in our house Coach Donny.

That power, control, consistency edit was sauce.

[Claudbeat]

The difference in my arm swing power after using your method is unbelivable, I didn't know I could even hit a volleyball this hard till now. Great video, thx a lot :D

[AsianSensationist]

That wall drill is super helpful. I didn't realize I've been doing a side arm swing this whole time.
Could you give some stretches that help with arm and shoulder flexibility? I have poor arm mobility and would like to increase my range.

I love your videos, coach. They have been helping me a lot, and the structure of them is perfect. Thanks for all your effort and work to help us.

1. power from backswing and bodyweight, hip and shoulder rotation, elbow extension, wrist flexion, arm speed

1st position nike/ attack pos.

2. backswing elastic loading
3. load for spike opening shoulders and hips
4. elbow almost straight lead hand slightly in front of shoulder, reach up to maximize torque
5. elbow back and generally up on back swing

2nd positition high elbow
6. rotate lead hip slightly bring front arm down and right elbow up, rotate both shoulders
7. up elbow close to ear, low or side elbow bad for shoulder
8. both elbows narrow, close to midline

3rd position extended hook
9. extend elbow, hook ball with wrist flexion
10. other elbow down to side or stomach, keeps rotation narrow to stay tall

extra
11. open up thin
12. rotate keep elbow up
13. contact ball with straight elbow

Coach This was a really good helping video for spiking and you changed clothes from elastic potential energy to arm swing motions

[MrsBreauxbody]

Great video simplifying the how and why! Thank you!

[wratatatata]

Thank you for updating ur old videos !

[haydenwatkins]

Coach Donny! I remember my arm feeling like it was about to fall off at the end of adult nationals 10 years ago playing with you. I wish you would have just told me that it was my internal rotation! But maybe you thought I learned how to swing properly in college lol. Great video and I asked my son to start watching your channel. Glad to see you're still at it.

[Sverance]

First comment, i recently started coaching volleyball, these videos are really helpful!!!!

[daniil]

[jesselee]

Thanks for the wall tip coach! Will start doing that now.

[raidaugherty]

Hi thanks for the tips! Could you briefly cover whether this arm swing differs at all from that of a jump serve? (:
