KKONHII Volleyball Training Equipment Aids, Volleyball Spike Trainer Volleyball Offense Trainer Height-Adjustable Spiking Training System Serving & Spiking Practice for Beginners & Pro

Got this to help with spiking and timing of hitting of the volleyball. I love that this can connect to the basketball hoop to make it easy to train. This is a really great product and I highly recommend this for any volleyball player!

Overall, it's a good idea. We hooked it up to our basketball hoop in our driveway, and then raised the pole as high as it would go. When the hoop was at the 10 ft level (highest it will go), the ball still hung down a little too far for my 13 year old. So we had to adjust the straps to lift it higher. When she started practicing hitting the volleyball, the trainer would spin under the bottom of the net, and wrap itself up and around the other side and get stuck on the hoop. And since the net was at 10 ft, you either have to spend the time lowering it (crank), or you have to keep a stick or broom handy to poke the trainer and ball back down. After about 15 times having to do this, my daughter got bored with it, and stopped using it. Also, the carabiner clip that it comes with is too small, and very difficult to get clipped on a standard sized metal basketball hoop, and it required some very delicate maneuvering to get it on ours. At the end of the day, while the concept is good, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired, and she'd rather practice in other ways. Not her favorite, and was a lot of work to get it on, use it, and take it off. I'm still going to see if there's a way I can hook it up so it doesn't get stuck every or every other hit, but so far, I haven't found a way to do so.
