You are italian, isn't it?

It's really easy to read where she's going to set.

very true...

hmm yeah i think you're partially right about the center of the body. theoratically you should gain control.

But the advantages of setting from a higher point is you're playing faster, because you touch the ball earlier, and its easier faking a first tempo set/dump/backwards set etc.

Plus the lower you take the ball, the bigger the risk of getting called for (i have no idea what it is called in USA :P ) what we call carrying, or second contact..

really i think its weird and more difficult if u set it too high above ur head. the lower u take the ball, the closer it is to ur bodies center of gravity. setter can also set those extra high & spinning passes with ease.

hmm, im not all that impressed with her setting technique. She contacts the ball way too low, she should take it much higher, and you don;t cover up your attackers after setting it.. the sets are pretty consistent though, her backwards set looks pretty nice

[mrchao2]

nice hands...your squad looks ownage
