Why did Clay Stanley leave early at UH? I remember him having 50 kills against UCLA in 4 games years ago, and I was looking forward to seeing him the following season but he was gone. He said he had trouble concentrating on both volleyball and school. Unfortunately Stanley was never known for being the best student.

During the four matches I watched in 1996 Atlanta (two pool, two medal) 114kph was the highest with hard hits regularly at 110 and 112. A Bulgarian recorded the hardest hit.

Its "The Play" from Sydney where Russia's Iakovlev bombs a serve, Grbic jumps over the banner to get it, then stuffs Iakovlev.
What's the reading on that serve? Its blurry, but I make out 113 km/hr.

I just did a conversion on a website. 117kpm converts to just slightly over 72mph, and as I recall the original point of this tread was speed of a hit, not just a jump serve.
With knowing this fact I'd have to change what I said before about 85mph, to maybe 75-80mph. If anything the change in distance from service line to net would increase the chances of the hit being registered higher.

Seeing some figures kph and some mph. Kilometer is .62 of a mile, so 120 kph is about 74 mph. So figures aren't that different. Regardless, the jugsgun at AVP catching me at 45mph (hope it wasn't kph) looks pretty weak.

at the AVP event at north ave. beach in Chicago this summer they had a gun and like a net were you stood and just hit it into the net and the highest clocked swing with an avp beach ball was 66 mph and that was set up on the sand not on the board walk or anything so who knows what could happen indoors.
