Its a setter's job to run a team's offense which means as you get better and improve your setting skills you'll have to learn how to speed up and lower the height of a ball in order to run a faster offense.
The volleyball words I describe below are a part of the common terminology that experienced setters and hitters use to communicate to each other the types of sets the hitter wants to hit or the setter wants to deliver while running the team's offensive strategy.
Shoot set
The shoot set is a high velocity set that relies heavily on precise timing and precision placement delivered primarily to the middle blocker or left side hitter while they're in Zone 3 or Zone 4.
Half shoot set
The half shoot is a very high speed or high velocity set, that ranges from one to three feet high and is delivered with virtually no arc and parallel to the net, to a hitter, usually the middle hitter.
31 set
The "31" is a fast half shoot set to a player, usually the middle hitter and sometimes the outside hitter, who has taken their spike approach so they take off, hit the ball and land four to five feet in front of the setter.
At higher levels of competition the timing for the "31" is such that the hitter has taken their last two steps in their spike approach and is in the air when the setter has the ball--in their hands--so all the setter has to do is literally shoot the ball at a very fast speed right into the hands of the waiting spiker.
The "31" like the half shoot basically looks like a long quick set that's being set so that the ball is contacted between Zone 3 and Zone 4 along the net.
Three set -
The three set is another name for the half shoot.
The 32 set -
The 32 is a slower paced half shoot which is run as the slower or second timing play option at the same time as the 31.
The middle hitter makes their spike approach, taking off about four to five feet away from the setter and is in the air by the time the setter is contacting the ball.
While the middle hitter is landing or coming down from her spike approach the outside hitter is going up to hit the 32.
Here are three options:
