Im not sure if I would make a rule change or not to this. It's more like it's always bothered me since I picked up the sport. I could never understand why a touch on a block doesn't count as a contact in the indoor game on a court covered with players, but yet it's counts as a contact on the sand with only two players to cover it. How would it change the beach game if the rule was changed to indoors? Or how would it change the indoor game for that matter if was changed to the sand rules? It could be an interesting discussion.....

I think it creates more unusual plays, rewards defenders with exceptional ball control who can set those spinning block touches on one, and incentivizes quick blockers who can get ready to hit quickly.

Id say Ryan probably gets a decent swing on the ball about 50-60% as often as a more mobile big. If Ryan blocks he has a tiny window, which is basically 3-4 feet next to him and within 2-3 feet of the net or so. A quicker blocker can have a hitting window close to as big as their normal one.
