Do you think setters balls are worth it?

Question

how do you use them?

Answer 1

I've been playing as a setter for past 11 years. Never had one, never used one. Don't need it.

Answer 2

of course they are worth it..makes your fingers stonger. not only that it also gives them more power. it helps..a whole lot.

Answer 3

No not worth. They were designed to make your wrists stronger, but not quite helpful even during pre-game warm-up.

Answer 4

not really. it all depends on what you're using them for. they're a different weight/size depending on which ones you get. i think its just easier to use a regular one.

Answer 5

Make that 3 votes for no.  They are designed to help you get stronger wrists and help you push the ball outside higher and farther.  While you are using the setter ball, you are developing better technique and using your legs more anyway.  You will get the same results by using the regular ball.  The only thing the heavier ball helps with is your "belief" that you are getting stronger.  You are not getting stronger because of the ball.  You are getting better technique.  And you are working out so you are getting stronger.  

Save the money.

Answer 6

I am a setter and i have a setter ball, don't use it anymore, and it hasn't helped me in the past. So, I would say that they are basicly a waste of money. I don't think they help you THAT much, but they are good when you first start out setting because it makes your wrists stronger. When you play with the heavy setter ball, it will seem really difficult to set. Once you get on the court in a game and start playing with the regular weight ball, it will seem so much easier. So, it really depends if you're really looking for a lot of practice with setting. If you're not a setter, you shouldn't get it.

Basicly, you just use them as a regular volleyball, but DONT bump the setter ball, believe me it hurts your arms because its very heavy.
