Float serve

 Float serve 

A float serve is one of the most popular and most used

serves in the game of volleyball. A floater serveis a serve with no spin and can occasionally shake in the air.

The reason the float serve is one of the most used serves

in volleyball is because of the different versionsyou can mix it up with.  The one that is mostly used is a

serve that shakes in the air but there is a version of the

float serve that will randomly start to drop fast, there is

even one the curves. The float serve that is going to be

talked about in this blog is the simplest serve, the one with

no spin. 

Stance

there are different stances to hit a float serve but the

easiest is just a simple standing position.This stancetakes less time to get comfortable because it's the second

most stance used in the game of volleyball and it also puts

less strain on your whole body but puts the most strain on

your arms.

Then there is the jump serve where you hit the ballwhen you jump in the air and hit it at the highest point of

your jump.  This is the most used type of serve in the game

of volleyball but it does put a lot of strain on the body but

this allows you to hit the ball fastand could also allow you

to make the ball drop faster. 

The throw.

The throw all depends on the person, some like one handed

throws and some like two handed throws. for the throw

that is all up to you to find what works for you. You could

also fake the receivers out, maybe throw the ball as if you

are going to top spin but in reality you float it. 

How to hit the ball

The way that you make the ball have no spin is by hitting it

with your palm and only your palm. When you hit the ball

with your whole hand you are adding some type of spin to

the ball. so by hitting the ball with only your palm you

remove the chance of adding spin to the ball. One thing to

note with the float serve unlike other serves is that to

execute it properly you don't flick your wrist at all. 

Practice

If you decide to do the float serve you should be practicing

every little thing to get the whole motion down. to practice

I would go against a wall and practice wall traps with themotion your stance, approach, your throw, and your hit. 

When you have all the steps down, go practice in a game

and see how it works for you. If you didn't find this blog at

all helpful here is a video that will explain things better.I hope you have a great day and the best wishes in your

endeavor to find your perfect float serve.
