Coach Donny Hui • Elevate Yourself

Elevate Yourself Founder & Collegiate Coach

Session Overview

Coach Donny Hui teaches the specific spacing, approach angle, and arm-swing adjustments required for right-side (opposite) hitters. He explains how right-handed opposites must let the ball cross their body to hit line or cut back cross-court without getting trapped by the antenna.

Core Biomechanical & Tactical Principles

Right-handed opposites should take a straighter approach angle on the right sideline so the set stays in front of their hitting shoulder.
To hit down the line from the right side, contact the outside half of the ball and rotate your thumb down slightly.
To hit cross-court from Zone 2, open your shoulders to the court and swing across your body into the deep seam.

Verbal Coaching Cues for Practice:

"Don't let the ball cross behind you""Straight approach on the right""See the block before swinging"

Why Recommended for Coaches:
