Volleyball Training Aid Spike Trainer-Foam Head Only

I just purchase this item and I am not sure if it will not hold up as many of the reviews have stated. I do know that it is not as easy to make as many of the reviews have stated. You must bend the PVC which in itself is troublesome and then you must thread the PVC. I found a very inexpensive handle from Doller General( it's the handle from the Back-Saver Long Handle Pan) for only $6.00. I do quite a bit of one on one volleyball training so I will update this review once I have used it a few times. It does seem like it will be helpful and if the Noodle starts to deteriorate it will be inexpensive and easy to replace the noodle. REVIEW AFTER USE- I used this item today (11/20/2022) with one of my one on one clients. It was a good tool to give the hitter a perfect set and also to show where a hitter needs to contact the ball when the set is lower that what it should be. The player enjoyed using the hitting aid and it seems like it should hold up fine. My inexpensive handle also worked fine. I have increased my rating to a 5 star as this Spike Training Aid looks like it will be a nice addition to my training protocol.

Very easy to use, but doesn't come with the pole to screw on. I was a little confused on what the proper poles to use because the screwon holes were kind of small. I figured eventually at home depot that they were the smaller mop/broom poles. The pool noodle started wearing out after 2 sessions of hard use. Great tool to focus on approach, arm swing, and ball contact. Won't help you with timing though!

The product is a great idea and works well. The pipe they use is a small diameter and the insert for a pole is small and can break easily. The product is nice but I would like to see the make it a little more stable.

I have a couple of athletes who contact the ball with their attacking arms bent or with the ball behind them. I was hesitant to get this, as I know the biggest issue with attack technique is learning how to time the approach and adjust to a set. BUT, what this tool does is it lets the kids feel what "good" is supposed to feel like. Without needing to worry about timing and adjusting, they can feel attacking the ball at extension and out in front of them. I wasn't convinced it would translate after we put the "spike stick" away, but there were noticable differences in the girls' extension and contact points off a live set after using this tool. I think it will become a regular part of my "early days" training. Also, the stick doesn't come with a handle, but there are detachable broom handles at Dollar Tree for <$2.00 that worked well! (I just couldn't get it off again once I'd put it on there...details.)

This is made from really cheap material. Too expensive for such bad quality. No pole fits this, because the hole is to small.

I'm a buyer of this product, and it works well, but it's an easy money grab. It's just some foam around a PVC pipe and there's not a pile included. Yeah it does show that in the pictures, but I feel like if it's going to be selling for $30, they should also include a pole. You might as well head to your nearest Lowes or Home Depot and make the product yourself. Works well, but it seems like it's mainly to make some easy money

Works well. Need to set up something to stop the ball or you will chase it all day. It is slow to use but allows the athlete to focus on the process

I use these with my club team, for about 3 weeks now. There is very little sign of wear on the tube, but realistically it IS a pool noodle and will start wearing eventually. Some duct tape might work, but for now it's a great tool to teach reach and follow-through! I was able to connect it very easily to a tall painter's extension tool that we had in the garage already. Highly recommend.

This has helped my U13 team greatly. Now they can concentrate on their approach.

super Hilfgerät für Angriffsübungen, gut zu transportieren...

Dommage que pour le prix le manche n'est pas fourni car les dimensions du pas de vus ne sont pas comune

Returning item. The photos on the ad shows extension pole. I didn’t realise that its not included in the order it not till I received the item today. $75 for bent plastic pipe and piece of pool noodle is a rip off not to mention is useless on its own unless you buy the extension pole at additional cost.
