"Hello, this is Keith Sewell on behalf of Expert Village. And now we're going to talk about how to tip a volleyball. This can also be called dinking. Tipping is achieved by using the same approach as a hit, but at the last moment using fingertips or knuckles to direct the ball to a certain spot. The advantages of this is it's easy to direct the ball where you want and you confuse the players by acting like you're going to hit it hard when really you're just going to tip it and let it fall to an open hole on the court. You can tip it over a player who's blocking and since they can't change their location, their physical location, because they're already up in the air it's perfect and all they can do is watch it come down over their hands as they also come down at the same time. This can be a good strategy if players are leaving open gaps on the court or if they're not covering the blockers or if they're playing hits too deep. "
