Notorious D.I.G.

Mike Puts His Spin on It and We All DIG It

Notorious D.I.G. Gets Going in the Playoffs Behind Mike McCaffrey

Mike McCaffrey has a distinctive style of service and we had to watch his routine a few times through to get the gist of it. First, he carefully sets his feet at the service line, flipping the boundary lines with his toes to clear the sand. Then he gives the ball a few rotations just to get a good feel for a spin. Finally, he tosses it up with the right amount of momentum to deliver his serve which launches in tight rotation to skim the net and land at the defense where the ball continues to spin and is really tough to bump back. Mike's method of service helped score many points in Notorious D.I.G's first round playoff win vs. Sets on Sets on Sets. That victory led to a walk up the bracket to face perennial sand VB champs, How I Set Your Mother. Mike continued to employ his successful service technique in this playoff match, but HISYM was too powerful to overcome in their challenge bringing an end to D.I.G.'s great season. But not before we salute Mike for being this week's POTW with a serve like no other!
