Everyone, I had a couple of customers send me a link to this thread so I thought I would respond with some answers. The Noah system now tracks most all sets including backsets and quick shoots. If you are using a system with the older version of the software, it will primarily get all the outside sets and some of the other sets. The only sets we don't consistently track at this point are the sets that more or less go up and down and don't travel much horizontally. Everyone that purchased the original volleyball product was sent an update disk at no charge with the software upgrade that enables the tracking of the additional sets. If any of you have not received this upgrade, please let us know and we will get it to you. Hope you are having a great year!!

I would be interested in a system that provides software and lets me use my own camera, and computer to capture video and provide the feedback that Noah does.

It's not radar, there's a camera that tracks the arc of the ball. I bought one very cheaply and our club uses it. We actually use it with a setting target (although the machine has a "virtual target" the setter can't really see where it is and know when they hit it until after the session is complete). I would partially disagree that hitters are an adequate substitute. Mainly, if you have say 3-4 hitters and want to get the setter 100 reps it can be a lot of extra jumping and wear and tear on them. I like it, the setters love it, it's really, really expensive to get one brand new. How were you able to pick up one "very cheaply?" I'd like to do the same!

Save your money. This piece of equipment, although at first seems like something good for your setters, is not worth the price. You are better off just showing video from behind the end line to show your setter the shape of their sets. Take the money you saved, and take the team out to dinner. 100 times.

Just hire a coach named "Noah" and stand him on a box.

It lets you build a great arc on your sets. You can really start to group them together, pairs of sets just start ramping up your skill until you're making it rain. It gives you a flood of feedback until you nail the perfect rainbow over and over.
Honestly, I'm just here for the puns and snark. A hearty congratulations to you all.

Setting is situational. Some hitters need it a little higher, some need it faster. Transition setting is all about the situation your hitters are in. It's best not to have a machine to train your setter to be like a "machine" (not able to adjust when the situation warrants it)

I googled Craig's list and NOAH Volleyball... A guy was going to open a facility and had one... Financing fell through. I emailed him several months after his listing had expired and he still had it. I was definitely nervous about getting scammed but it worked out. I'll stick to these thoughts: -a new one is really expensive -it requires you to use a full court with nothing else going on -you can use it with setters setting live hitters (or a target) -your setters will learn to "feel" what each trajectory is like and you'll start talking to them in degrees if they need to set a hitter a little higher or lower. -it helps your teams timing become much more consistent, but you need to have pretty good 1st contact control to take advantage of it
