- the spike or attack hit - a hard driven ball contacted in mid-air after a player takes a three or four step spike approach that lifts them in the air towards a ball that's above the level of the net to swing at the ball with their dominant arm with force in a downward motion so it lands within the court boundary lines.
The attack hit is usually the third and final hit allowed per side and is used to send the ball over the net in a rally.
