Why 90% of Hitters Jump High but Still Hit Soft?
Episode 46
Friday, 6 March, 2026
A lot of players ask me: “Coach, I can jump high… so why don’t I hit that hard?”In this episode I share something I see all the time with hitters — the disconnect between jump height and real spiking power. Very often the problem isn’t strength or genetics. It’s that the energy from the jump never actually transfers into the ball.I talk about why this happens, how many players jump only up instead of attacking forward, why core connection is crucial, and how small details in arm swing timing and contact point can completely change the speed of your hit.If you already jump well but feel like your spike should be heavier, this episode will help you turn that jump into real attacking power.
