It can create really poor technique because of the low angle the ball often comes back at leading to low contact points. Better to stop and self-toss each time. <br /><br />I also think standing further back (like 25-30 feet) and working on deep hits bouncing the ball a couple feet from the wall with lots of topspin rather than straight-down ones is much better for training purposes. Much better for realistic training.<br /><br />A good way to work on power is to tie a knot in a towel, hold the other end in your hitting hand, and do the armswing close to the wall so you are striking it with the knot. It's all about generating speed. This is good for helping out with weak serves too.Johnhttp://www.insidecollegevolleyball.comnoreply@blogger.com
