💥 Attacking
BeginnerTip (Dink)
A soft, controlled push with the fingertips over or around the block into an open space — usually just behind the block.
Side view
🪜 Step by step
- Make your approach look like a full swing.
- At the last moment, open the hand and contact the ball with the fingertips.
- Push it high over the blockers’ hands into the open area.
- Keep it clean — open-hand tips must not be caught or thrown.
