I usually only see the most elite liberos wear them, but can anyone personally testify to seeing an improvement from wearing them? I could think that eye sequencing from the servers hand to platform might be improved but that is all I could come up with...

Are you talking about the sweat band type things that cover your platform or the full arm sleeves that have elbow padding? I think they are both beneficial in creating a visual and tactile awareness of your platform, and the elbow padding is great for the really bony athletes that go gonzo on defense.

I really don`t know anything about it.
But I actually have seen a couple of OHs wearing it. Zaytsev is one of them.

No high level player is wearing them for visual que reasons.. Long sleeves/bands do help with absorption/control a little though.

Think Nicole Davis and Destinee Hooker. I'm not talking about the sweat bands or the elbow ones (ala Kelli Bates) but just the sleeves. |

For those who have used them, any preferred brands?

To keep the muscles warm and improve circulation since the jerseys are short/cap/no sleeves elbow issues maybe, floor burn protection, super sweaty forearms making it hard for the setter to handle the ball. I know the arm bands work well for younger athletes to help with cues, and as they get older they wear them out of habit, not because they need them. |

Why the women play with long sleeve shirts in the NCAA? I always wondered that.

Long sleeves just relieve worry about a sweaty platform IMO.

Ditto. My Libero DD wears for elbow padding purposes only (and usually only when she already has a goose egg on her elbow). I think she has a nike compression sleeve with elbow padding that works very well. We bought it at Dicks Sporting Goods but not in volleyball section--maybe in soccer or baseball? But it definitely does the trick. |

Isn't part of the advantage feedback, as well...you know if you passed the ball with the correct portion of the arm (hits sleeve) or not (hits skin?)
