If the ball is set close to the net, it will usually be hit at a sharp angle and downward closer to the net than a standard set.

You´ll need to take a step or two forward, covering your blockers, because if they can´t stuff the close shot, it will come down close to the 10´ line.

There are two other reasons to move up. If your blockers can get hands on it and don´t stuff it back, the ball will be coming off at some odd angle, and you´ll need to help pop up up. Or the hitter will realize they´re going to likely be stuffed and tip just over the block, in which case you´ll need to be there to bump it back up softly.
