poke/pokey
When a hitter decides to poke a ball they close their fist and turn it sideways so they can use the knuckles of their pointer finger and middle finger to "poke" the ball over the net and over the block, guiding it to an open space on the opposing team's court.
The "poke' or a 'pokey' are often used on the beach where there's more open space on the court to guide the ball to.
The pokey is also used as an emergency hitting option when an attacker didn't get their feet close to the ball during their spike approach or the ball is floating close to the opposing blocker's hands ....so the hitter uses the longer reach of their arm to contact the ball as a last resort in order to 'soft' attack it over the net.

The Joust in Volleyball
joust
A joust in volleyball occurs when both a blocker and a hitter contact the ball when its above the net, at the same time.
When a hitter receives a trap set from their setter, and by that I mean that their setter has delivered a ball that is drifting to close to the net and the opposing team's block, the setter does not have have time to swing so instead they will attempt to block the ball seeing that half the ball is on their side and half the ball is on the opposing side..while still above the net.
Yes, this decision making process happens very quickly. At the same time the opposing team's blocker who's waiting at the net like a shark about to breach..comes up to roof the ball as well..because...well because that's what they are there to do...block....Now both players are basically blocking the same ball in an attempt to push the ball over to the opposing team's court so that it hits the floor for a point.
