40 Most Powerful Spikes | VNL 2025

Argentina in this second set, off the top of the net, here's Mortesa, oh my goodness! Does he clobber that ball? Better check it. I was going to say, that one could just go to the sidelines now. As Ishikawa serves. What a touch, what a great serve! And Crick goes bang! Shifted all the way over. Brought back in by Onorato, back to Darland. A little too much? Nope. Hurt somebody, watch out. For Italo. Pulls it like Lorenzano, and then another hole in the floor from Guardiola. That's nine set points in the blink of an eye. Super spike of the opening set. Good pressure serve, Gutierrez takes that beautifully well. Lands on the setter's head. Berkow has options. Platt calling for a double touch, not to be given. Oh, what a swing that is! Well, Netherlands taking the game to Cuba. Oh, check the floor for Dent! That was large, that was very large. Concepcion, good take from Popichuk. Here's Leon, and he's bringing the heat, bringing the crowd to life. Look at the angles on Leon. He's one of the best in the world at putting that thumb. Poria now with extreme heat. What a set by Chikov, that ball spiraling in. We are back to slugfest volleyball. It is power for power, what a set. Oh, goodness me, Champlin! A massive block, a massive swing. And Rowan makes the simple choice. I'm going to set the best ball possible, let my hitter go to... 9-9! And it's another first ball side out after the ball goes to Maiki. Malamowa in the game to serve. Makes a good contact, 118 kilometres an hour. Oh, Mandirajic. That has got some squish to it. Here comes Klevner. Wow, did he rip that? Wow, what a swing. No regard for the block. Ma once again. Trying to push Ishikawa deep. That is a great swing, Santos banks it. Henry tries to take away position one. Santos stays on his approach. And in terms of the national team, they'll be happy to have him there too. Oh, Dolan, welcome to the game. He's fresh and that ball is hot. When you're saying position four. Oh, it was the wind-up. A windmill of passion from Concepcion. That one had flames coming off it, I'm pretty sure once it left his hand. Instead it's Yamazaki. Oh, that is awesome. Nishiyama. Got two points. And here comes Mijanovic, straight in and straight down. This is exactly what you want from your substitutes and especially your young players. You come into a match. Simone and Sammy. Wow, what a block that was and still in play. Wonderful transition and then there's a hole in the court. Giovanni Maria. Joe Giulio, what a hit that was. Very little in that. Wow. I mean, I know we sing his praises all the time, but Gianelli is such a talented setter. And if you watch this back, you'd be good enough. You would think. Nice pass, Artur. Now I thought that was going to Artur. Artur probably did too. Flavio goes up and gets it. Clip the net. Champlin deals with it well. Garcia. Chest up from Mourvinkle. Free ball. Garcia. Beautiful timing. Germany on their heels. Ruas jumps early. That's class. Commander to the middle. Go ahead and say his name. Now, Kubitschek. That is a huge play. Checking into the game with a bouncer. Give me some space. Too late. Oh, that's a big swing coming in. Kofi finds his rhythm. Yeah, a bit of retribution for the first one not able to. On the court, you've got to make the most of them. There'll be some big matches if they stay in the top eight. Coming in the finals live on VB TV. You watch Brazil, Poland. Oh, big hit from Botolo. Big switch and flicker switch. Well, Micheletto feigning the second ball attack and then says, Just kidding. I'm actually going to. Who can make the grade? Who can step up? That's a good swing. Beautifully done. That'll do nicely. Micheletto would have been proud of that one. I was wondering how long it was going to take for France to set someone other than their opposite. Up front. Bounce town and a little stare down from Morteza. Yeah, you might not like it, but you've got to respect the way that Morteza plays it. Here's the setter, Elgert. Canada's going to work this one. Varga. Back row brings the thunder. How about that one? Number 99. Go up and get it. It has been the middle for Brazil and will. I mean, just keep serving Bergman. He'll take it with his hand. Well handled by Eric Rose. And the swing is equally well handled. That is a monster swing down the line. This one is a first class ticket to spike town. That's about as good as it gets. Oh, that's a big swing. Well, you said was it just known for that? This ball just dented the floor. I mean, no. An exclamation point goes Darla. I was afraid for someone in this situation. Middle is holding going both blockers in on that. Oh, that's a good serve as well. He is such a good technician. Not very good at bats. Here's a break for a chance. Taken by Hewitt. No half points required. Two from two from USA to start set three. Actually, he still plays on the world tour. Very accomplished player. As is that man there. The Delkovich. An absolute unit of a guy. 207. Third time lucky for Argentina. Not if Alex Nikolov had anything to do with it. Oh, yes. Sassack. Amazing. Launch of the ball is so athletic.
