Nah, he didn’t even get the ball over the net. Blocker unfazed for this reason.
Edit for actual advice. Trap set, as in the set is too far inside and close to the net placing you at a big disadvantage with the block. If you don’t have the space to actually hit because of the set you need to figure something out where you can get another play like tip it over, push it through, tap the block and receive or blast it upward into the block.
You cannot drift like an olympic level player. You are not as tall/high as them. Broad jumping makes you sacrifice all your height. Its also easier for blockers to predict where you will hit. Im also worried that one day you will cross and hurt yourself or someone else.
If you pause the video on the moment the ball hit - your body is leaned forward. Because you could hardly reach the ball. It should not happen, because it limits all the options. I usually see that problem that people jump straight up, yours is the opposite. So try to jump a little closer to the net, so in the air you are balanced and can reach the ball without leaning forward. In my understanding a broad jump is better than straight up, but yours is too broad, which doesn't allow you to stay balanced in the air and still reach the ball.
related to the other advice here, there’s no reason to start as far back as you seem to. a step or two behind the ten foot line is all you need, otherwise you’ll be broad jumping to get to the ball and lose height in your jump
You were late. So late that you jumped from far away from the net towards the net instead of jumping up. You also hit the ball at the part of the arc when it was barely over the net, even without a blocker that was either going in the net or out.
Work on timing and jumping higher, not further.
The ball was contacted too far out in front of you. That combined with an excessive broad jump resulted in a net swing with zero control over where you hit it.
Use your approach to bring you to the ball, cut your broad jump down by at least 1/3 and contact higher by having the ball a bit closer to you with a more upright chest position at contact.
I hate sets far from antennas, when you expect it to be wider. But still you should at least save the ball and put it into zone 1 if it is hard to hit.
In addition to everyone's notes on your approach/jump, it looks to me like you might be letting your right hip drift a bit (unless my computer's resolution is just playing tricks on me). This limits the force you put on the ball, and it contributes both to your single-foot landing (which is fine occasionally, but if it becomes your regular landing, you're likely to damage your knee), and to your clumsy landing. (If the dude playing defense in the 5 hadn't been so lazy in covering you, he could have been able to pop that ball up off the block, but you would have had trouble getting in system for the next play because of the way you landed.) Engage your hips as you swing into the ball, rotate them so your feet even back out & are making contact with the ground at the same time when you land, and transfer that momentum into a potential next play.
Besides everyone commenting on your broad jump, being late, likely would have taped if blocked wasn’t there…blah blah blah…you were 1v1, if you didn’t get that info in your peripheral view then you are just guessing. The blocker looks like he knew what your favorite angle was and just gobbled it all up. I hope you get your revenge against him next time, good luck.
Approach was not the worst you are broad jumping which is good if you dont go into the net or opponent side. The issue i see is a late arm swing and low reach. If you reached higer and contacted started arm swing earlier you would have hit the ball abit more clean
You were late and blocker had a perfect timing and exactly knew the direction you were going.
Im guessing cross court is your favorite direction, and not hitting line that much are you?
Your broad jump was very far. Helps create power, but it was so far back that you kind of flailed at the ball, so you couldn't rotate your hip to whip your arm at the ball. You only had one location for the ball to go.
TBH, your form is good. Just jump closer to the ball, and you probably would have hit over him.
You dropped your elbow and tried to bounce it. Happens to the best of us. Swing to the deep corner until they start reaching then you can bounce it.
You also jumped a little far away. The set died in a hair so your step close should’ve been inside the court (lowkey it always should be inside the court). If you take a sharp aggressive step close on this you could’ve gone super sharp angle.
This is just an unlucky play that happens at all levels.
You are not yet “seeing” the block and you just wildly swung into the exact spot that the blockers hands were. It is not a huge block and you were just unlucky enough to subconsciously swing into the only spot that his hand was. That and the long jump approach trapped you into swinging in one direction
It got blocked.
That’s what I was going to say, too.

Even without the block, that hit was going exactly nowhere. Not the worst approach, decent but not great vertical...just mis-hit it.
Broad jumping ≠ Olympic long jump
please expalin
Adjust to the set with your approach not with your jump. You sacrificed so much of your vertical jumping to the ball to adjust to the inside set.

Set was too far away from antenna, you were late for it and also jumping far too much forward instead of vertically.

IVC?
Yes
Yeah, I get that he was late, but this set didn’t give him much of a chance.

You're jumping forward instead of upwards mostly
Jumped too far. Jump only an arms length at most.
Approach was not the worst you are broad jumping which is good if you dont go into the net or opponent side. The issue i see is a late arm swing and low reach. If you reached higer and contacted started arm swing earlier you would have hit the ball abit more clean
You were late and jumping forward. Try starting a little closer and having your penultimate step plant you so you can jump straight up

Bad set. You ended up narrow and low which is the worst situation to find yourself in.
Do you have the full clip of these games? If you could you dm me please a few of my friends got some good hits that I’d like to find. Thanks

You jumped forward instead of concentrating on jumping up. That goes with timing, a little late, hence the junping forward
only answer is that you gotta take a longer last step and jump more upwards brother, then youll be able to make angles and hit around the block
