id imagine its because Haak goes over the block more, while Kathryn tries to go around or through. Also Antropova is probably a better blocker than Zhu/Herbots, right? I wonder how often Plummer is lined up against Maja. Zhu is as elite of a leftside blocker as you'll face.

I wonder if that has to do with Imoco, and USA for that matter, running such a fast ball to the outside when in system? Or is it just how Plummer is built? Haak seems to hit a fairly fast tempo ball quite often. Honestly, I think it’s her built. Don’t want to sound mean though. I love her!!!! Oh I'm a KP fan for sure!

Britt is an awful blocker but yeah Zhu has fallen off as a blocker. I kinda wanna look back and see if Ruddins contained her any better when she was in

Didn’t seem to set the block well at all in the last match In fairness, it's tough to measure against Haak. A decent set means that she has consistently the highest contact point, over any blocker.

Yes, Haak was the least blocked Opp/OH in the regular season (in % of total attacks, blocked down only 16 times in 750 attacks). Wolosz setting her helps of course, but Haak was also the least (or maybe it was second least) blocked Opp/OH when playing with Cansu in her last season in Turkey. Imho it's not only that she's often able to go over the block but also that she has developed a very good game vision and smart decision making. She rarely just blast the ball full force into a well formed block and hope for the best (like some other players do). Among the top opps she's for example probably the one who tips the ball the most, but she's able to do it with a pretty high success rate through well-disguised and well-placed tips (like this one in the last match youtube link).

In the folder are all the finals games played. You can choose to have ENG commentary and watch in low resolution or ITA commentary and slightly better resolution. Thanks for the RAI stream! A comparison of the image quality between VBTV (first image) and RAI (second image). Almost the same frame, I upscaled RAI to 1920x1080 to make it a bit more fair. RAI is 720p, about half the bitrate but it still looks a lot better than VBTV (and it's not like RAI looks very good either). WTH is VBTV doing with the stream? Downscaling it to 320p, adding blur and ghost filters and then upscaling it to "1080"? I hate to pay for this crap where you can't even see the ball... It's 2024 now @ VBTV, give us at least real 1080p, preferably in 60 fps!

Rooting for Scandicci purely on the extend, extend extend agenda so Imoco is dragging into the Super Final next week. On the other hand watching this series is ruining my ability to watch PVF because the level is just not comparable.

I want Scandicci to win but if they lose that means I’m done watching Beatrice so like, win win?
