Fast sets are used to beat the blocker with speed.
A setter sets an attacker in volleyball quicker paced balls that are harder for the middle blocker to track, chase or get in front of the hitter to block against.
Slower sets are used to beat the block with power and vertical jumping ability.
Setters with high jumping attackers in volleyball are outside hitters and/or powerful strong hitters for whom they may slow down their sets and rely on their hitters ability to
Each player on offense will get a hand signal as to the type of set they will get.
When all the hitters run the play together that's called a "combination play."
The "4 - 1 - 5" play is the play most commonly run by setters and is one of the easiest volleyball offense strategies to learn.
This a high ball set to each of the front row hitters, except the middle blocker.
The only person who gets a quicker lower set in this offensive combination play is the middle blocker, who on a good pass, will approach the setter with a three-step spike approach and attempt to a hit a quick and low set that's 1-2 feet in the air right in front of the setter in Zone 3.
The "Four" is a very high ball delivered to the player in Zone 4.
This is the type of set that setters use the most . With an imperfect pass, they can still get to the ball and deliver it to Zone 4 easier than they can to the middle (Zone 3) or right side (Zone 2) position.
After the pass, the setter gets to the ball, then squares her hips to face Zone Four.
With their body under the ball and hands outstretched above their forehead the setter pushes the ball high to the ceiling towards Zone Four so once the ball peaks 8 - 10 feet in the air, it comes down just inside the antenna closest to the first referee and 1-2 feet off the net.
The "Five" is a high ball set delivered to Zone 2.
The setter contacts the ball with all ten fingers above their forehead, but then they push it behind them, high towards the ceiling so that it drops just inside the antenna closest to the second referee, inside the court and a foot off the net.
