June 19, 2009, Newsletter Issue #203: Reading Hitters, Part 4

Tip of the Week

As the set leaves the setter´s hands, you should again turn your attention to the flight of the ball. You´re looking to gauge the relationship of the ball to the net, its height and speed.

If a set is away from the net, chances are the hitter will either tip or hit something off-speed. If the team you´re playing is able to hit backrow spikes, however, you´ll need to be aware of that, and watch the player moving underneath the ball to see if they jump. That will give you clues as to what they´re planning to do, and make your defensive adjustments accordingly.
