Tip from THE Pat Powers
Below is a tip from former Olympic Gold Medalist Pat Powers on Ball Control.
Enjoy and please comment on any drills / tips you are looking for. I will see what I can do 
BALL CONTROL
The issue of ball control is universal for the beach, indoors, six-person and doubles. Simply put, whenever you pass, set or dig, you must have your arms out early―30-foot rule or 1.5 seconds, whichever comes first. Period. Your arms do not move in relation to your body.
By bringing your arms out early, you control the movement of players who are going to touch the ball next. As a setter, you learn how to read the arms, shoulders and bodies―not the ball. By learning how to react to bodies, you get a jump on the ball and seem to be in the right place at the right time. The expression “Never take your eye off the ball” comes into play; you learn how to watch the ball through your teammates’ eyes and arms (and your opponents’ eyes when you get really good). The second and most important reason for bringing your arms out early is that you gain an extra 30% or so more control when you get your arms/hands out early.
Learn how to move on the court with your shoulders, hands and arms out early!
