Dink
A soft fingertip push over, around, or off the top of a block, same family as a tip. You use it when the block is selling out to touch sky and the back row is parked deep, because the empty floor between tape and first defender is the reward. The AVP announcers call it a dink; indoor coaches more often just say “tip the seam.”
Example
The MB sells the quick approach, the blockers load up, and she drops a dink to the 10 line where nobody’s feet are set.
