Hit with palm or whole hand?
When executing an overhand serve, is it best to hit the ball with your whole hand (fingers and metacarpal area) or just with the palm?
Answers:
Whole hand. It'll give you more power and better control.
Just the palm. If you meet the ball with your fingers and the palm, it actually decreases the power because the force is spread out over more area of the ball. Striking with just the palm delivers more speed at impact.

An overhand serve, like an attack, should be contacted with your whole hand, fingers spread. This will allow you to contact the ball in a consistant spot increasing the control and accuracy of your serving.with your palm
our coach tells us to hit with our whole hand, but i tend to hit with my palm and i still have plenty of power.
Are there any free or cheap open play volleyball courts in the baltimore area?
The ball should be contacted with your whole hand, fingers spread. It should make the shape of the ball. You will have much more control.I love to cheer dose anyone else?and voley ball they rock?
Either way will work if your more comfortable with just hitting with your palm then do it. Though hitting the ball with your whole hand will give you more power and better direction. And even when you hit with your whole hand the majority of the contact should be with the palmHow can I improve my overhand serve?
The lower part of your hand. Just above your wrist. When I tried out for the volleyball team in school, I had never played tennis before. I saw all these other girls that look natural while serving but I just couldn't get it over the net. I asked this girl how to serve it good and she showed me. So I used as much force as I can and smacked it and "luckily" it went over. It didn't work the second try because I had no idea where on my hand to hit it best. It helps it get over the net.What did male beach volleyball players wear in 1969?
Well, the core of your it is the palm, but usually the whole hand will come into contact with the ball as well, so I say whole hand. It's the same as hitting. It makes it easier to snap if you want topspin and just a more solid hit in general.Does anyone know some good volleyball cheers?
Mostly the palm.If you're putting topspin on it, the fingers contact the ball during the wrist snap.
If you're doing a float serve (no spin), only incidental contact with the fingers. I'm not a ref, but it seems like significant finger use on a floater would be a carry.
In high school volleyball can you throw the ball up and let it drop?
It really depends on what type of serve you are trying to do.The floater is contacted with the palm (best way) or the heel of the hand. Your hand should be flat. Any contact with the fingers will cause some spin. Any spin on a floater limits the effectiveness. An attempted floater with a little spin is easy to pass.
The topspin serve is contacted just like the spike. Use the entire hand. The fingers will help put the topspin on the ball and will bring it down into the court. Your hand should be cupped. Whatever you do on a topspin serve, do not "try" to force it to spin. That usually means a serve that hits the back wall. Your contact with the hand will make the spin.
What kind of underwear is best to wear..?
Depends upon the type of serve. Floating it will have less of the hand contacting it, where a serve that has topspin will need more of the hand to contact it for the spin.You also need to remember that the more of the hand that contacts the ball, the more control you have over where it goes. I would experiment to see what works for you. Personally, I use my entire hand for my serve. It comes hard, and it drops fast. Not too many like to return my serve because of that. I also have a floater, but I use my strong serve more.
Any people like basketball,volleyball,and soccer.?
Definately your whole hand. If you tend to just hit it with your fingers, it means your fingers aren't stiff enough. As long as your hand is stiff and you snap your wrist you should be fine. But definately whole hand.More Questions & Answers...
