Tip
A soft, fingertip redirect over or off the block. The indoor game calls it a tip, sand doubles use “dink” in conversation more often, but the read is the same: find the seam where the back row is not. Refs only care that you are not carrying the ball, so a quick, clean pop beats a lazy roll off the palm.
Example
Same approach, last-second open hand, the ball flutters to the 10, libero is still deep.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a tip the same as a dink in volleyball?
Most coaches use “tip” indoors and you still hear “dink” a lot on the beach. The skill is the same soft hands finish.
How do you tip in volleyball without getting called?
Stiff fingers, no cradle, one beat of contact. If the ball lives in your hand, the up ref will reach for a lift.
