Frontal serve
Frontal serve service technique in volleyball. Two frontal serves are differentiated. In the frontal serve from a standing position the hand is held open with the fingers aligned (similar to the hand position when scooping water). The frontal serve from below is played from a stride position with the hitting arm moving from behind and low to forward and high in the direction of the ball. It is used predominantly by beginners. The frontal serve from above (tennis serve) is performed from a slight stride-straddle or parallel position with the hitting arm moving from behind and high to forward and high. The wrist is snapped forward over the top of the ball, which gives the ball a forward spin. This type of serve can be played very hard and is therefore used by advanced volleyball players. The japa- nese service is played with a stabilized wrist low across the net, often from far behind the base line. The irregular flight path of the ball is a result of hitting the ball in its center and due to a rapid deceleration of the hitting movement. It is used in top-level volleyball to make a controlled attack formation difficult. The frontal serve from a jump is a very strong serve which was developed by top-level players. It is an attack spike played from the baseline forward with the ball thrown up by the serving player with one or two hands prior to take-off. The player jumps forward into the playing field. Due to the velocity of the ball the receiving of this type of serve is very difficult. On the other hand, the error rate is higher for this serve as compared to the other serve variants. (H.Haag &g.
