Session Overview
Coach Donny breaks down the specific approach angles and footwork adjustments required for right-side (opposite) hitters. He compares how right-handed and left-handed opposites should position themselves outside the right sideline to keep the ball in front of their hitting shoulder.
Core Biomechanical & Tactical Principles
- Right-handed opposites should take a straighter approach inside the court so the set doesn't travel behind their hitting shoulder.
- Left-handed opposites can start wider outside the antenna because the ball naturally enters their left hitting window.
- Transition all the way behind the 10-foot line after blocking to establish full runway spacing on the right pin.
Verbal Coaching Cues for Practice:
"Let the ball stay on your hitting shoulder""Righties stay straighter""Lefties swing wide outside"
