tournaments.spikeball.com/pag...
2021.. TONS different.. TONS the same. I am here to educate and hopefully provide a clear and clean cut definition of some of the major changes that are being implemented this year. Whether you like them or not, that is completely a personal choice :P I do however… urge you to keep a positive outlook on testing these things so you get honest results.. and then form opinions!
For those of you still reading, HTR will be making more videos in the near future on how to best handle these rule changes and dominate the field. BUT FIRST! I have to re-learn how to do everything haha Give it a smidget of time for me to do that and as I learn so will you!
P.S. I hear there might be a new pickup video with these rules coming very soon :)
Preston, out, for now… I will return!

Wow these new rules are going to really clear up some of the grey areas my friends and I have been dealing with on serves! It makes way more sense to have a line to keep your feet behind instead of a line to keep your whole body behind.

woah. Those are some sweeping changes. I really like the soft-touch rule. Reminds me a lot of Beachvolleyball and feels like a good "buff" to defense. One big concern I have with the no-hit-zone is, that it seems to be an advantage for taller players. Not needing to be tall was imho a big strength of Roundnet. But lets see how it plays out

@1nf3ct3dTT 3 жыл бұрын

This is a great explanation! The only question I am still a little confused about is what your said about jumping over the no-hit-zone. So you can or cannot do that as long as you don't land inside? Can I jump over the net (and no-hit-zone) and hit a ball onto the net as long as I land outside?

Sorry I have a question about no hit zone. You mean we can’t jump across the no hit zone, but is it ok if I jump over when my body was inside the zone and feet outside the zone? I’m not so sure with this one because I saw it happened on pro finals 2021. So I’m a little confuse

Friends and I are super confused about the pivoting rule. Are you only allowed one pivot step? Or are multiple allowed as long as you do not change your pivot foot?

@markokljajic6124 2 жыл бұрын

I think you can switch your pivot foot, but you can’t lift it in when performing a serve. So, if you’re faking, you can change your pivot foot, as long as you don’t lift the foot on the follow through.

@franksmith7278 3 жыл бұрын

Question on the No Hit Zone: If you hit the ball while leaning forward, not feeling totally balanced, your instinct is to step through the zone to regain body control. However, you realize this is a violation, so you do a cork-screw flip which allows your feet (or points of ground contact) to remain outside the zone, while your body passes over the edge of the net and through the zone. Is this illegal? Since your points of ground contact remain outside the zone during the entire hitting process (even though your center of mass passed through the zone), it seems that it would be legal, no?

@HOWTOROUNDNET 3 жыл бұрын

yup! as long as you don't land in or touch the net, cork-screw flips are legal haha

@tuckh5110 3 жыл бұрын

@markokljajic6124 2 жыл бұрын

I think the idea is when the ball hits your body twice inadvertently. For example, the ball hit your leg and chest on the way up from a serve. In this situation, the ball rolls up your body and hits multiple parts of your body. Technically, it’s not an intentional double touch.

@kylejensen2409 Жыл бұрын
