How to Make Your Serves Float- 2nd Post

In the first post, I told you a little about the different kinds of serves. Now I will tell you how to make your serves float.

Floater serves are very hard to master, but if you do the right movements, it will become a lot easier. To start a floater serve, you should do what you normally do to serve a regular overhand serve. You should put the airhole of the ball down, on your palm when you hold the ball before you serve. The airhole is the heaviest part of the ball, and when it is down it makes the ball able to float.This serve works better if you are a beach volleyball player, because the wind will go in the seams of the volleyball, making it move in the air. This serve will still work well indoors, but it won't be as dramatic movement. If the indoor gym has a strong air conditioning system, the air will still go into the seams of the volleyball. When you hit the ball, it is different than a regular serve. You should only hit the ball with the hard palm part of your hand. You do not want your fingertips to touch the ball. The key to getting the ball to float is to strike the ball and to pull back. Do not follow through, as you would on a top spin serve. You need a quick, firm contact on the middle of the ball for it to float.
