It looks to have been an awesome match, with Fuerbringer-Lucena winning in three 16-14 in the third. I am checking the FIVB Youtube page regularly in hope that they will upload the game. Fuerbringer-Lucena have made it to the semis, and will pull further ahead in the race to the Olympics. But for these two teams, it is definitely far from over.

Initial credit must go to the godfather, steve anderson! Just be careful with your shoulders when practicing those ones as it can be quite high impact when first learning it.

You simply have to play the ball above your head. It can't drop any lower. It all goes from there. You must use a very short quick move and use your wrists much much more. It's much more difficult to play it cleanly this way, I agree. My trainer forced me to go through the change and it took a lot of time. I think this new rule makes rallies longer because you have to opt for a bump set more often which is less precise and spikes can't be that aggressive. It does drive me nuts when people let the ball so low and get it out without spin and exactly where they need, setting a partner for a merciless kill.
