Has anyone on here every used the Noah Volleyball System? it is the machine that immediately tells a setter how good their set is. our program is toying with buying one but want to make sure that it is worth the money.
thanks....

I have not used the Noah system, but I have used something similar. I have 5 of them. They are called 'hitters'. They seem to have no problem telling a setter how good (or bad) their set is. Also called the vbman100 system. |

I have seen them - I have seen them used with all the bells and whistles... Not sure that its worth the money for most... There are programs that can spend the money and not lose sleep over it... unless you're one of those... I wouldn't consider it - Its way cheaper to have your setter communicate with her hitters about what they need

Stanford used to use it all the time with their setters. I don't know if they still do.

Does it require two setters, one male and one female?

Not familiar with this. Is it like those pitching strike zone type boxes or the cutout holes for the QB to throw passes through?

Its a radar type deal... gives a trajectory (in the form of a number... say... 42 degrees)... allows the setter to hear specific details as they attempt to duplicate setting arcs....
So if 42 is perfect... it gives them a number with each rep... allowing them to hone in on that "perfect" set

Make sure it comes with a 100% lifetime waterproof warranty. Just sayin'. |

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.

I seem to remember that it gives feedback on the degree of the ball after every set. John Dunning is still quoted and photographed on the webpage. Some schools use it jointly between their volleyball and basketball teams. (It was developed originally for basketball, by a Bay Area entrepreneur.) volleyball.noahbasketball.com/volleyball/ |

Sorry... Let that part out. The NOAH does call out the arc of the ball in degrees on each rep. Can also give you a number related to whether it hit the target or was short or wide. Does not do both at once though. Grades you at the end of your session.

Also called the vbman100 system. What if you have the hitters who think that any kill is a good set, but anytime they don't get a kill is the setters fault (especially that waffle to the back wall 25 feet out of bounds? I'm not sure the vbman100 system works everywhere. |

Has the company that makes the Noah addressed the issue of back sets? The only complaint we have heard is that early models were not well designed to read balls set behind the setter (have heard this in discussion with a few coaches who used it a couple of years ago). At the time the company was supposedly addressing the issue but since we are not in the market for one I have heard no new input...
