Platform
The joined forearms you pass and dig with. You lock the wrist, get the platform out early, and steer with angle instead of bicep. Every inch of open shoulder at the wrong time shows up in your volleyball pass rating, not on Instagram.
Example
The jump serve is flat; the platform is out before takeoff, the angle is to target, the ball is on a rope.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you make a good platform in volleyball?
One grip style you trust, arms straight, shoulders forward, platform face presented before the ball arrives. Boring is fast.
Why does my platform keep sending the ball off target?
Usually because you are swinging instead of angling, or you are not square when you present. Get your midline to the ball, then let your legs do the up.
