Haha been waiting for this one! Love the content man! It's personally helped with my mechanics. Quick question, if you've watched any Japanese high schools play, they all have a very distinct armswing with pristine machine like mechanics. Its very unique to any ther country I've seen. Wondering if you can cover the Ishikawa maybe, it's a very simular swing.
I agree, the Japanese style is very distinct. I haven't been able to find a concrete reason why, but I suspect the governing body for volleyball in Japan has a unified teaching method for their coaches. Ishakawa is on the list for a future breakdown, keep an eye out!
Interesting analysis. I would love to see a breakdown of Matt Anderson or Wilfredo Leon's armswing. I think Leon excels at releasing all his power at once through rapid torso rotation, meanwhil Matt Anderson has a fairly wide armswing that lets him generate a lot of power before contact.
Hey, great vid! I was just wondering, does Nishida have not any shoulder problems with his technique? I've noticed that when my elbow gets that low, it puts more burden on my shoulders and hurts it more.
You might be doing an additional movement or flexing during the draw- that would lead to more stress on your shoulders. However, it's not necessarily about IF it stresses your shoulders more, it's about WHERE. If you'd like me to do a breakdown of your swing, and see if I can help you identify issues, DM me
so i got a quick question so when it comes to nishida drawback being inline with his shoulders are they flat like horizontal because when he swings i notice his elbow is down a bit should i be trying to emulate the hitting form or serving form
He jumps so absurdly high too. That really puts a hard downward drive
Agreed. Jumping high can never be overstated

Imo, Matt has a nearly perfect arm swing, mechanically. Both players are on the list for future videos
@@thevolleynerd5858what is the aspect would you say he lacks from having a perfect arm swing?
And he's jumping so freaking high too look like he's had wings to fly
His arm swing is identical to a tennis topspin serve.
Agreed! It's crazy how much overlap there is between skills from different sports. It tells us alot about our bodies, imo
Good job man! Subscribed
Been looking for a video like this! Thank you for your insight, hoping to see you do breakdowns of other members from the Japanese National team
You're welcome! More to come very soon
You know it's funny you analyse the serve vs the hit. I have a monster jumpserve but can't hit to save my life. Why doesn't that translate you think?
I want to become like him

As long as your draw is at or below your shoulder level, you'll be in a good position to maximize your hitting power.
