Basic Hitting Explanation by Janek at FRESH

In this video, Janek explains the basics of effective roundnet hitting step by step. You’ll learn how to position your body, use your legs and torso for power, and make clean contact so your hits stay low, fast, and hard to defend.
​
We also look at how to read the defense and choose the right option: power, finesse, line, or cut. Perfect for players who want to build a reliable, repeatable hitting technique instead of just “smashing and hoping”

Use this video as a technical checklist in your next training and combine it with focused reps to build automatic, game-ready mechanics.

Key points:

Relaxed but controlled swing, striking the ball slightly in front of the body.
Use legs and torso rotation to generate power, not just the arm.
Flat, open palm at contact for clean, consistent hits (avoid rim/pocket).
​- Practice multiple angles and heights: power put-aways and soft/finesse shots.
​- Always read defender positions before hitting (line, cross, cut, or soft).
​- Vary speed and direction so defenders cannot predict your favorite shot.
​- Train with isolated hitting drills first, then progress to game-like decision drills.
