A team is allowed to touch an incoming ball three times, a block (even with multiple touches) not counted, ideally in this way: reception (typically bump), set (typically overhand pass) and attack (spike).

Common terms related to hitting the ball:

serve: the first hit, to enter the opponents' court side

bump: reception of a hard or low incoming ball, hit with both hands together

overhand pass: most common to "set" the ball for an attack, ball hit with the fingertips

spike: an attack hit with one hand, above the head

backspike: attack by a back-row player, behind the 3 m line

kill: a spike hit that scores a point, e.g. touching the opponents court

tandem: two hitters jump together to deceive the blockers

off-speed hit: fooling defence by changing hitting speed

block: stopping an incoming ball after a spike hit

roof: a block that directs the ball towards the hitters floor

block-abuse: light hit to opponents block, causing it to fly away

dig: receiving a ball close to the floor after a spike hit

hitter: a player specialised in spike attacks

blocker: a defensor standing opposite the hitter, blocking the attack

setter: passes the ball to the hitter in order to prepare a perfect attack

You can hit a "down" ball which means hitting it hard in a downward motion.

Or, you can "tip" ("dip") the ball which is usually used to mess us the defense on the other side, or to get the ball over the blocker on the other side. When you tip the ball, you are using the tips of yours fingers to move the ball either up above the blocker and over the net, or you are pushing it down with your finger tips as close to the net as possible.

But, if you want to hit a down ball, you need a good set from the setter, and usually players will tip the ball when they get a bad set.
