Question

What part of my hand should i spike with?

Answer 1

right above the wrist.  and right below the middle of the palm.

Answer 2

spike with the padded part of your hand... above the wrist. make sure you swing all teh way through, get a high enough jumep and snap your wrist. also make sure you are doing the right approach technique and not turning your hand/wrist.... otherwise you won't get enough power or it willl go  out of bounds

Answer 3

.. .. and don't forget to lock your wrist & have the fingers point forward a little.

Answer 4

ur palm @^_^@<------------monkey

Answer 5

below the palm but above the wrist

Answer 6

Hit the ball with your palm.  Your hand should be cupped so that the fingers will make contact with the ball, too.  That will help put the topspin on the ball.  You should not hit the ball with a flat hand.  (That makes a floater.)  If you hit it with the palm, you will also get a floater.  And as a previous answer said, you must follow through.  If not, you will be a wall banger.

Answer 7

I always hit with a fist. That is the best way to do it for sure. All the good players do it.

Answer 8

open your hand, NEVER close it and swing as hard as you can

Answer 9

palm

Answer 10

With the fattest part of your palm, which which has the highest strike velocity when striking the ball.  Hitting off the wrist causes there to be less control of direction.  Make sure to follow through  after hitting the ball.

Answer 11

Spike with ure fingers open and firm, making sure that you eye the ball perfectly before executing it. Use the middle part of ure arm and make sure that the lower end of the finger joints also touch the ball, this will add top spin to the ball.

Answer 12

What i do is when i spike i cup my hand a little and i use the part a little above my wrist and about a little before the middle of my hand

Answer 13

its basically the palm of your hand.

strech your hand as big as it can go and make your wrist tight. your whole hand hits the ball when you spike, but to make it a powerful hit keep your hand stiff and let it hit the center of your hand.!

anyother questions?!

10 points pleasepleaseplease.

Answer 14

middle of palm

Answer 15

ok, i have always been told to spike the ball with my palm, but that has neer worked out for me. I always hit it with the heel of my hand, so that I get more power. the bad thing though, is that this makes it harder to control, and i often hit it in the wrong direction

-good luck!

Answer 16

cup your hand just a little and spike with the palm of your hand

Answer 17

I spike with the bottom part of my palm. And when I do that I have a hard to get spike!!

Answer 18

for a full-out spike, the bottom of your OPEN palm, for a tip over the net, your fingertips

Answer 19

i don't play but i know people who do, and i can only imagine that it's basically like you're high-fiving the ball, only directly down... i also guess that it has something to do with wrist motion

also, don't stop directly after hitting the ball, you need a follow through

Answer 20

DONT HIT WITH YOUR FIST! that is such a bad way to hit or serve, it is much more acurate to serve and spike with an open hand because it wont go off your knuckles and then go wherever it wants to go! you should contact the ball right below your palm. if you drop the ball on the ground and then just keep hitting it on the ground with an open hand, you will get use to feeling where it should be hit.  DO ANYTHING BUT HIT WITH YOUR FIST!

Answer 21

You hit the ball with your whole hand. You mostly use your palm. Make sure you finish through your arm swing and that you snap your wrist when you attack the ball.

Answer 22

bone on your palm! make sure your fingers are open when you spike it. you can control it better.

Answer 23

It depends on how hard you want to hit it but the best place is close to your wrist but the middle of your hand works too.

Answer 24

you use your whole hand, fingers and all. keep your fingers open and reach high. then swing all thr way through the ball.
