when u set do u only use ur first 3 fingers...thumb, pointer, middle?

Answer 1

I use all but the pinky. But of course its all a preference thing. I mean it is true that you'll get more control with more fingers but you also don't get control if you aren't comfortable with how you are doing it so remember that.

Answer 2

Yeah, I do, other people just use ur index and thumb, but my coach told me that is the best way. Remember to set with ur hands coming together as a V-shape. Good Luck

Answer 3

Some people do, but it's better to use four fingers; thumb, pointer, middle, and ring finger.

Answer 4

well when u run up to the net to spike it the ball basically hits your pointer, middle or ring finger and sometimes ur thumb

Answer 5

Typically those are the fingers you use to set a ball. You can you all 5 fingers, but a lot tougher and usually will lead to a bad set.

Answer 6

The more fingers that contact the ball, the more control you have on the ball.

I use all of the fingers (and the thumbs) of each hand. I find that I control the ball the best that way, as well as get more strength on the ball.

Answer 7

No you use all 10 fingers! It gives you more strength to get the ball up in the air higher! Trust me I'm on a USVBA volleyball team!! It's GI Islanders!

Answer 8

Yes working out your wrist can help. You can benefit a stronger release and more rotation which means more range. A great exercise for this is to hold the way you shoot with no basketball. Then just flick your wrist and nothing else until you cant do it any more. You should see instant results.

Answer 9

Been a long time I played Volleyball. I am sitting here looking at my fingers now. I used all but my pinky I think.

Answer 10

usually its just those three somtimes people use the thumb and pointer fingers and thats it.
