Arm Swing Errors - Part ll

 - and Video #2

3.           You have a big wind up and or a big throwing type of motion and a big follow-through when swinging at the ball – either standing or jumping – Stop it and do it Right! (you’re not throwing a rock or trying to swat a fly!)

    Sign up for our mailing list so you can have access to the training video – “How to Swing” to see how to swing correctly.

    Your arm needs to have a compact and coiled whip motion not a throwing or clubbing type of motion - this one is hard to explain without writing about a 200 page manual, so please watch the videos - THANKS! 

4.     When you spike or make a shot your head drops / you take your eyes off the ball – Stop it and do it Right! –

    You must see your hand make contact with the ball, just as a golfer must see the club hit a golf ball.

    ALSO, PLEASE hit the ball with you entire OPEN  hand with your fingers spread wide apart.

5.     The non hitting arm/elbow doesn’t come up above your head when hitting the ball from a standing position or when jumping – Stop it and do it Right!

    Not only do you need to jump with both arms, you need to either point the elbow of your non hitting arm at the ball or reach for the ball with your non-hitting hand during the hitting motion.

    Once again the video is really going to help demonstrate this!

6.    Making contact with the ball too far in front of you when you are hitting or making a shot. This usually happens because you try to jump forward rather than straight up. - Stop it and do it Right!

    Make contact with the ball as high above your head as you can possibly reach (basically reach your hitting hand up as high as you can reach and that’s where you want to practice making contact with the ball. Practice this every time you swing no matter if you are standing on the ground or jumping.
