One of the best tutorials on adding topspin to a serve... Thanks for going into the science and details

Thank you so much. Everyone else just talks about wrist, not the upper part of the ball.

Yup! Wrists are a good cue, but there's a bit more too it

Thank you for the video! I couldn’t add top spin to my ball and everybody was telling me to simply snap my wrist.. it didn’t work so very happy to finally have a correct explanation! :) ( love the scientific evidence too )

For sure! Snapping the wrist can be a good cue but it just doesn't work or click for everyone.

Just a small correction on the physics. It doesn't really rely on contacting the top of the ball, but rather to have the direction of force to be missing the center of the ball in the back-top direction. That is how you can hit it upwards and still get top spin. The way I do it is to make the final arm extension much later so that my arm is still extending as I hit the ball. To learn, it can be exaggerated as shot put up the back of the ball. Then you bring it back towards a normal arm whip swing, making sure your full extension is after the contact point. The slight upward force on the back to top of the ball (missing the center) creates the spinning force and the finger extension / snap directs all that force forwards and down. In the end, you have what looks like a normal swing but with just a slight difference. in the extension point.

As a fellow vball coach, I'm gonna say that "just hitting the top half of the ball" is wrong. If you're standing at the service line and hitting the top of the ball and snapping, it's never going to make it over the net, that's simple physics and geometry. You actually need to hit the bottom half of the ball to provide the arc it needs to clear the net with topspin.

@volleyball.university 9 ай бұрын

I made a video on this as well. In that case you'd be hitting the ball at an upward trajectory and hitting the top of the ball at the same time. It really just comes down to semantics but I agree with you 🙌🏼

Wrist snap creates more force on the ball like the end of the whip plus added downward direction, e.g. spiking. I would argue that on spiking hard, top spin is mostly irrelevant. Serving top spin is created by hitting the top half of the ball with a lot of contact surface (palm) plus tossing the ball with a lot of forward rotation to add to the top spin. You can even do top spin serves without wrist snap and a bad contact on the ball with a good spin toss. That‘s what I teach and that’s also found in the literature. Other ways are also appreciated, if they work. I would argue that you’re not incorrect but a little incomplete.

@volleyball.university 9 ай бұрын

"wrist snap" isn't a terrible cue, but it just doesn't work for everyone and doesn't really explain how the top spin happens

@runpoint13 9 ай бұрын

Topspin is created by hitting in an upward motion. So from low to high. When looking at your demo. The ball doesn’t spin, it’s only spinning because you spun the ball before you hit it. And your contact is not creating any more spin(if anything you are creating backspin). Look at the beginning of the video when you served the ball. You hit it upwards. That’s why you had so much spin on the ball.

@volleyball.university 9 ай бұрын

I had to hit it upwards because I was serving over the net. Are hitters hitting low to high when they bounce a ball 10ft line with top spin?

Thanks for the great video! The quality and editing is looking fantastic, keep it up 💪 I have a question though - for a standing topspin serve, if you’re not contacting the ball above the net but still on top of the ball how do you get it to go far enough to get over the net?

@volleyball.university 11 ай бұрын

Thanks! Just got a new camera for higher quality footage. Yo answer your question, you would still make actual contact on top of the ball, but you hit it at an upward angle so it can go over the net. The more speed you can add, the less "up" you have to hit it.

This is a cut shot as far as I'm concerned, meaning to angle the ball down, not the same as topspin. Topspin comes from the snapping of the ELBOW not the wrist

Can't I snap the elbow and hit a float serve? What happens if I snap the elbow and hit the bottom of the ball?

@phoenixg3644 10 ай бұрын

nothing any coach has said to me helped me do topspin until I had my own way of thinking about it. I position everything like im going to float the ball halfway between the bottom and the middle of the ball but then snap my wrist or just create an angle with my hand upon contact. This is what led to my breakthrough. Do you think that is essentially correct or not?

Bro, how are you debunking the wrist snap and right after teaching the wrist snap?

@volleyball.university 9 ай бұрын

Wrist snap is just one of the many "cues" you can use to teach top spin. Just pointing out that scientifically, it technically doesn't exist

@@volleyball.university my guy, i appreciate you reacting, and the advice. but: If something "scientifically, technically doesn't exist", why try to do it? (or even teach it)

@volleyball.university 9 ай бұрын

@@juridittrich6396 for sure! Cues are just words you use to get someone to take a certain action. For example, to teach the hand placement for platform passing to beginners I say/cue "pancake, pancake, sausage sausage" which helps then place their hands on each other and thumbs together. Wrist snap is easier to "do" than to teach hit the top of the ball and angle down as you make contact. There's a reason why the term has been used for so many years haha
