Or would you go for low and quick over the net? Because I have seen both.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>And what is your reasoning??<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This topic comes up from time to time. My philosophy is simple. Set each hitter at the height that works best for them. That&#8217;s it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why? Because to do anything else means one or more of your players has to operate at something below their full capability. That&#8217;s not a good situation ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not that this is easy, mind. Especially when it comes to middle quicks, setters have a strong tendency to under-set. It&#8217;s a fear thing. They don&#8217;t want to overshoot their hitter. It&#8217;s understandable. A hitter can usually at least do something with a low set. Not as much with a ball that goes too high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This generally isn&#8217;t as much of a problem <a href=\"https:\/\/coachingvb.com\/getting-middles-up-quicker-on-quick-attacks\/\">when the middle is up on time<\/a>, though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Should you have your setter(s) set each hitter the same way, or should they adjust their sets based on hitter capabilities?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19697,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[421,422,457,459],"class_list":["post-82867","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-volleyball-coaching","tag-volleyball-offense","tag-volleyball-offensive-strategy","tag-volleyball-setter-training","tag-volleyball-setting"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82867","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=82867"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/82867\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=82867"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=82867"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testsite.coachingvb.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=82867"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
