How to get better at hitting balls that are close to net
Hey guys, just a quick question about hitting as an outside hitter. I have some mental block on the balls that are close to the net, i am scared of them, i don't want to land in the net or under the net on the opposite side, especially when i am getting blocked. I am just fine with hitting balls that are a little further from the net. Soy question is what do i do with those balls? Do i just jump from normal position but extend my arm? Or do i have to come closer, i think my problem is that i don't understand in which position should my hand be when contacting the ball. The ones that are further, i contact at my max reach in height. Maybe i should try contacting them more in from of me? I would appreciate either explanations or youtube links, i wasn't able to find anything myself. Thanks in advance
