The board gives a variety of options of how to train each positions. Based on the rod configuration it works well to give a setter a simulated pass by not knowing how high or low the pass may be because of the design to mimic the actions off a DS/passers forearms which isn't always the same. This forcing a setter to be more reactive and faster with their motions.
I did request more rods to give a more rigid surface for a higher rebound and this gave a simulated pass for a hitter to hit off of working on reaction time and location spotting. Not always realistic because the design is meant for more absorption on impact but if hit correctly, I could get a rebound like a pass for a hitter to work on out of system attacking.
Passing, which this is most likely meant for, is easily the best application because of all the different rod placement combinations that can randomize the pass such as reacting to a blocked ball or going after a second touch. With more rods making the board more rigid, the passer can work on more consistent ball control.
Overall, a great training tool that has a number of uses based on how it's positioned and the rods are configured. The only drawback is the rebound distance but this product is not designed to rebound like a hard wooden surface like you see in youtube/tik tok videos. It is good for 10' line work and maybe half court but not from the baseline.
PierBounce is honestly such a fun and useful training tool. Super easy to bring anywhere, and the different reactive settings make it challenging for every skill level. I’ve brought it to tournaments and everyone always wants to try it. Definitely a great way to work on reactions, ball control, and just have fun training.
Obsessed with my @pierbounceofficial board right now. Solo pepper sessions are so much better now because the ball actually comes back realistic, not some random bounce. Setup took 10 minutes max. I’m getting so many extra reps in before practice and it’s honestly making me way more consistent with my passing and setting. If you want to get in more reps and don’t always have a partner, get this.
Pier Bounce is an incredibly innovative product, and I can’t speak highly enough of the owner, Jon. He goes above and beyond in describing the product, its pros and cons, and how exactly you can use it for your tournament, club, or individualized lesson. There are so many amazing uses, and it’s only going to take your team to the next level! Jon was extremely helpful in explaining Pier Bounce, and he can even give you specific drills for various skills and levels. You want this board! You’ll love the product, company, and customer service that goes along with it.
Love the VolleyBoard! I use it often for lessons with the players I Coach. The ability to use it as a regular rebounder AND to use it in a way that makes the "rebound" unpredictable is amazing.
Really simple to set up/take down and I love how portable it is as well. Would highly recommend!
