Is that good stuff, or is there better brands, if so please post pictures

Answer 1

You seem like the kind of person that thinks they need all the best gear to play better. Maybe a little bit is about how other players perceive you too.

You don't need equipment to play Volleyball. You don't need the best sneakers either, but it helps if they are actual Volleyball shoes. Many brands do the same thing, they just look different. You don't need kneepads, unless you are a girl. Boy's don't land on their knees, they land on their chests.

Most of the time, people laugh at guys that come in the gym trying to simply look like they are good at volleyball by having brand new gear. You come off looking like a complete tool, like those basketball guys that wear wristbands on their elbows like Allen Iverson, but can't dribble to save their lives.



If you really want to spend some money, buy a nice ball.

I also think this is the 10th post of yours that mentions your love of Spandex in some way. I really don't care what you wear under your shorts. :)

Answer 2

it doesnt matter what kind as long az you have spandx knee pads or shoes as long as you have something to play in is all that matters!!

Answer 3

Mizuno is alwways a great brand. I will usually splurge on shoes. i can deal with cheap spandex and knee pads and socks. Asics has these nuts socks that distribute your weight or something, they are insane, it actually matters what foot you put them on. But you don't need fancy stuff, really. Save your money and go buy some food.

Answer 4

of course...
