Frontal spike is the basic method of spike. The frontal spike is facing the net, which is easy to observe and has high accuracy. Players can change the spike route and intensity at any time according to the opponent's defensive layout, which is beneficial to control the hitting point, so it is the best way to attack.
(1) Preparation posture: Stand about 3 meters away from the net, with your feet naturally open, your knees slightly bent, your upper body slightly leaning forward, and your arms naturally drooping. Observe the second ball and be ready to run up and take off in all directions at any time.
(2) Run-up: The purpose of run-up is to obtain a certain horizontal speed, increase the take-off height and choose a suitable take-off point. The timing, direction, footwork, speed and rhythm of the run-up are determined according to the direction, speed and arc of the incoming ball. Therefore, it is necessary to master the footwork of one-step, two-step, three-step and multi-step approach.
Take the two-step run-up as an example: in the run-up process, the left foot takes a step forward first, then the right foot takes a big step quickly, the left foot is combined in time and falls in front of the right foot, and the toes are slightly retracted, ready to take off.
The first step of the run-up should be small, aim at the direction of the previous step, so that * can get forward horizontal speed, and the second step should be big, aim at approaching the ball and improve the run-up speed. The landing support point of the right foot is in front of the center of gravity, which is beneficial to braking.
(3) Take-off: At the same time as the last step of the run-up, the arms are pulled back and wrapped around the body. When the left foot is braked on the ground, the two arms swing forward actively from behind, and take off with their legs, and the two arms swing up hard with the take-off.
(4) Hit the ball in the air: after taking off, hold your chest and abdomen, turn your upper body slightly to the right, and lift your right arm backwards to form a reverse bow. When you swing your arm, you can do a quick rotation and abdomen contraction to raise funds to drive the joints of shoulders, elbows and wrists to swing forward and upward. When hitting the ball, the five fingers are slightly extended into a spoon shape to keep nervous. Wrap the ball with the whole palm, take the palm as the hitting center, and at the same time actively bend your wrist and push your fingers forward to accelerate the upward rotation of the spiked ball. The hitting point is in front of the highest point of take-off and arm straightening.
(5) Landing: After hitting the ball in the air, * naturally falls. In order to avoid overloading the legs, you should land on the ground with the forefoot of your foot during the day and bend your knees to cushion the falling force.
2. fastball
Fast ball is a hitting method in which the attacker takes off before or at the same time of the second pass and quickly hits the ball into the opponent's court. Fast ball is a traditional way of playing in our country, which is characterized by fast speed, suddenness and strong containment ability, which is conducive to gaining time and achieving the purpose of sudden attack.
(1) Close-body fastball: A fastball that is buckled about 50 cm near the setter is called a close-body fastball. Close-body fastball is mainly because of its fast attack speed, which often makes it too late for opponents to block defense. Close-body fastball not only has a good attack effect, but also has a strong cover function, which is a skill that an auxiliary attacker must master.
Generally, it is advisable to keep the angle between the run-up route of the near-body fastball and the net at about 45. When running up, the ball should be off the net at the same time as the first pass. When the ball falls on the setter's hand, the spiker should take off and swing quickly in front of the setter's body, and his arm will just buckle the ball over the net (the upper edge of the net). When hitting the ball, drive the forearm and wrist to swing quickly with the action of abdomen and chest, and hit the back and upper part of the ball with the whole palm.
(2) Semi-fastball: Semi-fastball refers to the ball that jumps near the setter and buckles the height of two hemispheres of the net. Semi-fastball is faster than ordinary spike and slower than fastball. Players can use the high point to look at the opponent's blocker's cards, thus changing the spike technique and spike route. The run-up route of semi-fastball generally forms an angle of about 45 with the gill net, and the take-off usually takes off quickly after the second pass. The hitting action is basically the same as the short-distance fastball, mainly using the forearm and wrist to accelerate the swing to hit the ball.

(3) Short flat fastball: The spiker is about two meters in front of the setter, and the flat fastball passed by the setter is called short flat fastball. This kind of ball has a fast speed, flat arc, fast attack rhythm and many attack points on the net, which is beneficial to avoid the opponent's block and has a strong containment and cover function. The angle between the run-up route of the short flat fastball and the net should be less than 45. Take off at the same time as the second pass, and swing your arm in the air to intercept the flat ball. When hitting the ball, you should quickly use your chest to drive your forearm and wrist to accelerate your swing and hit the ball with your whole palm. According to the position of the opponent's arm, the hitting point can be found during the horizontal flight of the ball.
