Jump-Set Quick Release

Steps

1. 01Start two steps off the net, take a controlled two-foot gather, and jump straight up without drifting into the net.
2. 02Meet the ball at the peak with your hands already at the forehead, contacting early so the ball leaves before you descend.
3. 03Keep the release compact: no cocking the hands back, quick finger extension, and a firm, quiet follow-through toward the antenna.
4. 04Deliver a front set to the pin, land balanced, and reset, then repeat to the same spot for consistency.
5. 05Run 15 clean reps, then add a random front/back call at the gather to train decision speed.

Common mistakes

• Contacting on the way down, which flattens the set and slows the tempo.
• Drifting forward into the net on the jump.
• Using a big windup that telegraphs the set and delays the release.
