Guide Review - DVD
The basic premise is that you use the snap or your wrist to pound that ball. In the DVD, Claudiu Szenasi, inventor or the motion, and start of the DVD, shows from every angle, in slow motion, real time and step-by-step the biomechanics of the new spiking technique. After one viewing of the video, the information was presented so well, that I was able to go out and try the technique on my own.
Now I have been playing for many many years, and honestly, I found that the motions mimicked the spike I am forced to use when I am either playing as a setter and decide to spike on the second hit, or out of position and forced to make a "standing-spike."
However, with his technique unlike the traditional spike with big arm motions, limits the arm motion, keeps hands up, and allows players to see at what point they are contacting the ball and make self-corrections.
The DVD comes with a host of great drills to help you learn the new skill, my favorite feature.
My only complaints is the intro, which is a bit long. But, Claudiu fills the remaining 44 minutes with great info.
You may have seen this video retail for $90.00 in the past. This skill is so revolutionary and so important for players to learn that Claudiu slashed the price to $14.95!
