- 3Jump so your hands reach full extension just as or slightly after the hitter contacts.
- 4Vary the hitter's approach tempo each rep to force a genuine read.
What to focus on
Eyes shift from the ball to the hitter's arm before jumping.
Common mistake
Jumping with the set and reaching the top of the block before the hitter swings.
