A hard serve will be helpful because it will cause the opponents to struggle with making a good pass, which will lead to a bad set which in turn likely leads to a bad hit. Therefore, if you can become really good at the serve, you are going to be a good player and you are going to help your team win.
In volleyball, there are three types of serves that will be affective in getting points (I am not going to mention the underhand serve). Those three serves, when used effectively, will result in points. Therefore, it is a great idea to master all three.
The three serves that I am referring to are the top spin serve, the float serve, and the jump serve. You will not find any other serves quite like these while playing volleyball. If it is your goal to be an excellent player, again, learn how to do these serves.
So let's take a look at these serves:
Top Spin Serve
The top spin serve is a serve that makes the ball look a curve ball pitched from a baseball player. The ball is going to curve straight down. The way to do it is to put as much top spin on the ball as possible. By hitting the ball really hard and snapping your wrist, you should get the ball to spin towars the ground as it crosses the net. This is a tough serve to receive because serve receivers are going to pulled closer to the net than they may think they need to be.
The Float
The floater is a cool serve because this is going to cause the ball to do some really odd things. It is called a float serve because the ball appears to float and not want to come down out of the air. Also, the ball moves around very oddly which makes the ball very hard receive. A good float serve should have almost no spin, should have a good pace on it, and should go right over the top of the net, as low as possible.
The Jump Serve
By and far, the jumo serve is going to be the fastest, hardest hit serve there is. A player literally throws the ball in the air and takes the same approach as if they were spiking. The player jumps as high and as hard as possible, striking the ball with a huge wrist snap to get serious top spin. This serve is served faster than any other serve there is, upward to 100 mph. This serve is great for intimidating the opponent.
There you have it. Three of the best serves in volleyball. Take time to master these serves and you will be a great player.
