Stop using spin to determine if a hand set is bad in Beach Volleyball

Spin is NOT a fault in ANY set of volleyball rules. "Spin isn't always an indication of a bad set." -Sinjin Smith 01:37    • Sinjin talks “hands”   Instructional video includes what a double is: 03:31    • Volleyball Rules | What's Legal (and What ...   Since 2019, at the highest level of beach volleyball being played, referees are no longer calling sets based on whether or not the ball has spin. If you watch a match, you will notice many hand sets with spin that are not called. On the rare occasions where a hand set is called, the ball rarely rotates after being set. So, ball rotation (or spin) is a TERRIBLE indicator of a double contact fault, at the highest levels of beach volleyball being played today. California Beach Volleyball (CBVA) Rules as of 2020: ● Rotation of the ball after the set may indicate a held ball or multiple contacts during the set, but in itself is not a fault. ● A contact of the ball with two hands, using the fingers to direct the ball, is a set. A player may set the ball in any direction towards his/her team’s court, provided that the ball is contacted simultaneously by both hands and does not visibly come to rest. You must focus on what happens DURING the contact, rather than after the contact, when determining a setting fault. If the ball is held too long or comes to visible rest it is a "Lift" fault. Or, if the ball is contacted at different times (for example it hits one hand before the other or rolls off of one hand later than the other during the setting action) then it is a double contact fault. Rotation of the ball after the set IS NOT A FAULT, and is generally NOT A GOOD INDICATOR of a setting fault at the higher levels of play. For demonstration purposes, I show hand sets that result in a rotating ball and no double contact fault called in the following FIVB World Championship Finals, Gold Metal Match in 2019 (Mexico, 11/17/19): USA vs. NED (Netherlands)    • Men's Gold Medal: USA vs. NED | 4* Chetuma...   Watch the extended analytics version of this video here:    • Extended Version: Stop using ball rotation...   Also, if you want to see how the best players in the California Beach Volleyball Association (CBVA) are calling hand sets, you can watch this Open Level CBVA finals at:    • Partain/Li vs Schwengel/Dietrich:  Finals ...   You'll note a SIGNIFICANT amount of spin on hand sets at: 2:35, 7:11, 7:33, 9:48, 10:16, 11:02 and 11:19 And still a reasonable amount of spin on the first five hand sets of the match (in the first minute of the video) as well as at: 3:50, 6:12, 6:44, 8:24, 9:07, 9:35, 10:16, 12:02, 12:10, and the match winning point at 14:05 There were no hand sets called as doubles or lifts during this entire match (despite the significant amounts of spin on many of the sets)
