Coach Donny (Elevate Yourself) just posted an interview with Karch from when VNL was in Arlington, TX.
He talked EXTENSIVELY about the preference of using a jump float over a topspin in the USA gym. He said that during his second season, the three topspin servers in the gym were extremely inconsistent, causing the team to be the worst serving team. From there, they almost "mandated" the jump float and within a month and a half, became the best serving team and won their first world title.
I thought it was interesting because he DOES mention Hancock's serve to be one of the nastiest ones of female topspin servers, but they found that her jump float equally got teams out-of-system and was in-bounds a lot more. He says that she does have the green light to top spin if she wants, but goes on about the wear-and-tear of practicing it in the gym consistently.
"It has to be elite. And we don't have many elite spinners... We actually raised our serving game by hitting the right person a lot more or the space around the right person, getting it in a lot more instead of 3 out of 4, or 8 out of 10, it's now 9 out of 10."
One of the "three or four elites" he mentions is Kiera Van Ryk who "nearly took off Jordan Larson's head" during VNL LOL. (Queen...)
(He literally talks about this topic for like 7 minutes starting at 11:20 LOL)

He blames, errr... gives credit to resident member joetrinsey for the move away from jump spin and mandating the jump float serve for the team in 2014. Karch does make sense of the serving style change. I like that he said that Micha has the freedom to serve both ways.

It's wild that US women can get their first gold 3 years ago and come back to crickets but take silver and get this plus the Today Show and I'm sure more. Ultimately, it's a positive sign for growing interest in the sport, and LOVB is probably working behind the scenes to get this Olympic squad promoted as a tie-in to the league.
