"Half volley"

[lifetime fan]

That's the generally accepted version I suppose but when I were a lad that wouldn't have been either as it did a full bounce first.

 

Is correct.

[Thants]

It was a goal, thats all that matters.

 

Not in this thread, Sweetcheeks.

[seven of eleven]

So he hit it about two seconds after, it was a half volley.

 

half volly is hit just as ball is off the floor , when your foot hits the ball it should be over it to keep it down and head should be directly over the ball , its a skillful shot in its own right not every one can keep them down.

 

His shot was just a shot not a volly and not a half volly.

[seven of eleven]

Is correct.

 

End of day when you was 7-8-9-10 down park playing headers and vollys would you accept that as a half volly ?

 

No you wouldn't because its not a half volly it took a whole second in air before he hit it any ways who gives it shit.

 

He had great body shape on that shot and was never gonna miss even if it was offside was a good goal.

[Mel Wood]

As I understand it...

 

If the ball is falling when struck, it's a volley. If it's rising, it's a half-volley.

 

Not sure what you call it when it's hit at the absolute apex of its bounce. A trolley?

[Trumo]

He controlled the ball, took a shot, and it went in. What it was was a GOAL. Here endeth the lesson.

[Woo]

A half volley is when the ball has bounced, so Iniesta's goal was a half volley.

 

A volley is when the ball is hit before it bounces.

As I understand it...

 

If the ball is falling when struck, it's a volley. If it's rising, it's a half-volley.

 

Not sure what you call it when it's hit at the absolute apex of its bounce. A trolley?

 

Ok a volly is hit first time in air every one knows that why is a half volly called a half volly ? because its hit just as ball hits ground so half volly IE people can't tell if its volly or not so they call it half volly.

 

Its not when ball is rising only when ball just makes contact with ground or just a little afterlike micro seconds after.

[Thants]

So what's a lob then? A half volley is when you hit it on the rise immediately after it bounces.

[Lario]

A half volley is when the ball is struck on the rise after a bunce. A ball struck at the apex of its journey up, or on its way back down, is a volley.

 

Anyone that says otherwise hasn't a bull's notion.

 

Close the thread.

[Woo]

Once the ball has bounced it's a half volley, regardless of if you strike the ball just as it bounces or wait the ball to loop back down.

[Karl_b]

He did a kick with his foot and that.

[Lario]

Once the ball has bounced it's a half volley, regardless of if you strike the ball just as it bounces or wait the ball to loop back down.

 

Rubbish.

What about this situation. The keeper kicks the ball long, it bounces just inside the opposition half, loops up into air all the way to the edge of the box, where the striker hits it without it touching the ground.

So the ball has travelled 40+ yards in the air before the forward kicks it, and you're telling me that's a half volley because it bounced first?

[Karl_b]

My understanding has always been that it's a half volley if you hit it any time after it's bounced once but before it bounces twice. The suggestion here is that it's like a drop-kick in rugby.

[Melchett]

Pussy

 

*giggles*

 

Jazz hands.

[Woo]

Yeah, that's a half volley.

 

Once the ball bounces, it takes most of the weight off it and thus it takes less skill to strike it properly.

Cos it fucking is!

[nibbler]

Just no

[Woo]

Just no

 

Just yeah.

[Torvald Utne]

oh my god, a half volley has to be struck immediately as the ball bounces you flaming retards.

[nibbler]

Half volley

one example of the litany of information proving the point.

in other news, the earth is spherical and the moon isn't made out if cheese.

[Guest The Big Green Bastard]

some people here have never played headers and volley's then?

 

Volley = volley

 

1/2 volley is on the fucking bounce right on the floor.

 

Bunch of mongs.

[Lario]

Yeah, that's a half volley.

 

Once the ball bounces, it takes most of the weight off it and thus it takes less skill to strike it properly.

 

So a cushioned header from a striker for his strike partner to volley will have more weight on it than a one bounce goal kick dropping out of the sky? Ah come on!

 

Cos it fucking is!

 

Correct.

 

Just no

 

Correct again.

 

Just yeah.

 

Incorrect I'm afraid.

[Melchett]

A half volley is for when your too shit to do a full volley.

 

Now stop squabbling you bunch of sponkeys.
