volleyball side spin serve?

just like it sounds baby!  have you ever put "english" on a tennis ball or a pool ball?  You hit is in a certain area to make it spin. \nPool - the ball gets hit near the bottom to make it spin back toward you.  The side spin serve in VB makes the ball curve thru the air so it looks like one person should receive it and then it either lands in between players or goes to an entirely different player.  you need to practice it!  hit it on the right side (if you are right handed) and stand toward the right of the court. Do the opposite if you are left handed.

I think you will find that the better players universally use the Continental or Eastern backhand grip for producing topspin or sidespin. Beginners mostly prefer an eastern forehand or even western or semi-western, but the spin they produce is usually backspin--so, I'm not including this as an option.\nThe reason the Continental or more extreme (in counterclockwise direction) grip is used is to allow your forearm to turn (pronate), which allows you to brush up and across the ball, or in the case of a slice serve, to brush mostly across the ball. This action is extremely difficult with a forehand grip, and I have never seen a pro recommend that grip for any player who has high aspirations.

When I play pick-up games with my friends, I like to work the post too.  I just usually do double-pumps, spins, and just kick it out when I can't get anything going.  Just try sweeping hooks and they should help.  A fadeaway turnaround is good when you don't want to get blocked.  It's a good move to have but I would say work on your hook shot because that thing comes in handy.  How tall are you and what level do you play (h.s., college, street, etc.)?

i'm not very good at underhand serving so i could offer a little tips on the overhand serve.  r u a male or female? \n \n1) don't use ur fist to overhand serve.  that might seem easier to give the power but that's not good cuz u can't control ur serve.\n\n2) a good friend of mine who plays very well always says to keep ur fingers close when serving.  that gives a good floater (a ball that has no spins causing a floating action that could drift off the direction sometimes) if done correctly.  but for me, i like it w/ my hand wide open.  if u get used to and good at it, u can also serve floaters w/ hand wide opened.  so that i guess it's up to u, whichever u feel more comfortable with.\n\n3) toss the ball in front of u, not rite above ur head or behind.  tossing is very important actually.  no need to toss too high.  grab the ball w/ ur serving hand and extend up, just slightly in front of u, but parallel to ur serving shoulder, that should be that point where u hit the ball.\n\n4) do not bend ur elbow.  at the point where u contact with the ball, ur arm should be straight, reaching for it. (pretty much the highest point of ur swing)  u r not hitting it rite by ur ears.\n\n5) follow thru ur arm swing.  some ppl stop rite after hitting the ball w/o following thru.  that might work, but follow thru will give more power.\n\n6) snap ur wrist.  that doesn't mean to hit the ball down.  ur wrist should be snapping down along w/ ur follow thru, that will give the ball a nice projectile.  some ppl snap it hard enough to give a lot of spin on the ball.  but please, don't break ur wrist!\n\nif u r male, u should hav enough arm strength the serve the ball over, so what u need to concentrate on is how ur palm contact the ball. also depend on ur height.  if u r really tall, u don't wanna hit too bottom of the ball to give a high serve.  (unless u mean to do it.)  if u r shorter, then hit it more bottom.  i'm guess between the horizon line to it's 45 degree down is good.  (bottom doesn't mean right under.)\n\nlook at where u r serving to, imagine the line of how u want ur ball goes.  then look at where ur hand is when making contact to the ball.\n\nthat works for female too, but a lot of female when they start overhand serve, they don't hav enough strength.  one of the things they r missing is, using their body to help.  this is how i started learning overhand serve in junior high (i served sideway and round house b4 that):  1st, say if u serve w/ ur right hand, the ready position will be, ur right leg in the back, left leg front, put the weight on ur right leg.  as u toss and hit the ball, u r also changing ur weight from ur right leg to ur left, so u r like walking forward.  u r actually throwing ur right side body to the front, ur right hand is only use to hit the ball, where the power is actually coming from ur body.\n\nHIT the ball, not pushing it.\n\nlastly, of cuz, a lot of practise!  =P\n\noh yeah, as u r serving, think of it: "SMACK IT LIKE IT JUST SMACKED U!!"\n\nthis is only my 2 cents, and everyone is different.  to be correct is important, but to be good at what u've got is even better.  i'm not very good in explaining in words, but i hope this will help.

When posting up against a player, put you hand behind you and grab the bottom of his shirt, with your other hand call for the ball in, make sure the free hand is in a good position where you can catch it. Then spin and lay in.

Start by treading water to keep your head and shoulders above the surface.  Hold the ball in both hands.  Your dominant hand is holding the ball above your head.  The hand is underneath, to push the ball, with elbow bent and wrist bent backward.  Your other hand is on the side, to guide the ball.  Push the ball by straightening your elbow and flicking your wrist to apply backspin.

When the ball's on your side, don't let it hit the ground and when you hit it to the other side, hit it hard and make sure it goes inbounds where no one on the other team is able to return it.  That's about it.

1. Semi Western or Western grip.  Those are the two grips that allow you to hit top spin.  2. Bending your knees.  By doing this it allows you to explode up into the ball.  So your body is going up the same way your raquet is.

OPEN HAND ALWAYS! you never see hs, college, or pro with closed hand right? okay make sure you are facing in the direction you want the ball to go. when you toss the ball, toss with your opposite hand and the toss should make the ball goes in front of your hitting shoulder. don't toss it too high. you should be conntacting the ball at it's highest point in the toss because at it's peak, it stops moving for a split second. so it would be easier to hit a ball when it's not moving which would be when it's at its peak. if you have issues getting it over do push ups every night to get your arms stronger. it helps i promise. right after your serve you will notice that where your hand is facing is the direction the ball went. keep that in mind. now for your feet, start with your tossing arm's foot in front. when you toss, take a step with your foot that's in front as you toss and then when you conntact the ball, you can bring your dominate foot forward a little.\n\ngood luck

I think you may be confusing perpendicular with parallel.  If the face of the racket is Perpendicular to the ground it would be in the same position as the net and the back fence allowing you to brush up and through the back of the ball as you creating an arc with "topspin" to your shot.  I would recommend having a relative short take back and then a full follow through so you can get the feel and control of applying topspin to your shots.

You have to be able to palm the ball one handed.  Try dunk a tennis ball or a deflated volleyball see if you can do it.  If you can palm a ball, try not to dunk "down" but rather forward.

with digging get low to the ground and get your hands out in front of you,like a W shoulder width apart, so you can reseve a high or low ball.  and with serving just put the ball out in front of your hitting arm and have a good follow through, and if you don't do a jump serve, use your back toe for balance on the follow through.

i know how hard it is to be short and play vball. i'm 5'4" and i've ALWAYS been a DS or libero. really work on your serve and quick feet. i spent a whole summer just perfecting all my serves (jump, floater, top spin, EVERYTHING) because i'm usually a DS so i always serve. my coaches always trust me when it comes to serving and if it's an important serve, they trust me to take it because they're confident in me. i served 97.2% on my last season. also, footwork and ALWAYS being low helps. if you're fast and you can get to any ball, they'll definitely think more of you. just keep working hard and work on rolls/dives too! and getting off the floor REALLY quickly. \ntheres a drill where you lay on the ground and someone slams the ball against the ground, making it bounce back up, and as soon as the ball contacts the floor, you get up as fast as you can, get to the ball and pass to a target.then right where you ended up, you get back on the ground and do it over and over and over. i LOVE that drill.
