She’s gonna have to learn to do that in more than one set, consistently. If she can then we will all be happy. Here comes the Reach Kelly Murphy train...choo choo As if Murphy is the standard for consistency...

Thoughts: Some posters want to put a righty on the right, like MBH, so on. This is such a tactical disadvantage. A lefty has more hitting angles available on the right, the setter has to set the ball further for a righty, and a ball travelling farther for a righty gives more time for the block to set up.

So does she make the "A" roster at WC this fall?

A lefty has more hitting angles available on the right, the setter has to set the ball further for a righty, and a ball travelling farther for a righty gives more time for the block to set up. I disagree in so many ways here. For one, the angles are created by the hitter's angle of approach, not which hand they hit with. And those angles are different if ball is set to different locations. Secondly, that location should be the same for both right and left handers. Again, it's the angle of approach that differs, not set location. I am not sure you understand effective attacking all that well.

Haak, Egonu, Fabris, Rahimova, Smarzek, Sloetjes, Tandara all consistently produce far more than our lefty opps on their better days. Aside from Boskovic who's the second-best lefty opposite? Yang Fangxu? A healthy Nagaoka? I'm just a little skeptical that the speed to the lefty is that much of a benefit if you're sacrificing power and height of impact.

You know it’s not the hand but the feet that determine the point of attack? And you can move that pony wherever you want?

A lefty has more hitting angles available on the right, the setter has to set the ball further for a righty, and a ball travelling farther for a righty gives more time for the block to set up. Karsta's return changes all of that. It was more a thought out of desperation at the sheer lack of performance from both of our current opposites. With MBH and Karsta on the wings and with Robinson having two more years to fine tune her libero role (should she stay there) things are looking really good!

So does she make the "A" roster at WC this fall? Wouldn't that be a trip....I would pick Karsta and Drews at this point. Murphy serves better than Drews but Drews is taller and is more of a blocker. Both have about the same crumby hitting percentage. Both would make good back-up's and Karsta would start. Or she will have to wait until next years VNL to be moved up? (a less likely option but I could see Karch waiting it out)
