How to set up the timing for the outside hitters?
A “good ball park estimate” for the correct timing in outside hitting is to place left foot on the ground (for RIGHT handed hitter) when the setter has the ball – when having a faster tempo set. After that the player performs the plant (right foot and left foot on the ground) and takes off the ground to swing the ball. This estimate is just to give you an idea about timing – naturally every player performs the approach little bit differently. A feft-handed player performs it as a mirror image. If the tempo is slower and the setter delivers a higher set this right handed hitter has plenty of time to place their right foot on the ground when the setter contacts the ball. It is followed by left foot – and the plant (right-left) to jump up to the air. If you have forgotten the basics of the approach and what is the plant, go and check out those in the “basic skills” section.
