Question

In volleyball hitting the ball with your fingertips is called?

tipping.

Answer 5

a set, or sometimes it is also called a volley.

Answer 6

that is called setting the ball.

Answer 7

it is called a set

Answer 8

setting, or tipping

Answer 9

Tip or drop shot.

Answer 10

It depends on how, but we called it a "dink" when I played in College and Highschool, when you just try to get it over the blockers..

If it is off a block we called it a touch.

Of course a good set will be mostly or all from the fingertips as well.

Answer 11

I'm guessing a tip

But when you tip, you don't really hit the ball, you more place the ball.

Answer 12

when the ball is hit strait up with the finger tips it is called a set. when the finger tips are use to barely tip the ball over the net it is called a "dink"

Answer 13

a set....

hope that helps

Answer 14

It depends on when you hit it.  If your catching a volley and putting it up for a spiker, its a set.   But you can hit a set shot with your fingertips and its called a tip or tap (depending on your coach).  If you do it when the other team is vollying, its a block.  So there are three meanings for it.  Need to be more specific.

Answer 15

Setting (I suck at it)

Answer 18

Its called "Tipping the ball" when you hit the ball with your fingertips.

Answer 20

the only logical explanation is setting, a set, or setting it up just depends on what you want to call it

Answer 21

it is called fingering done by lifter for smash by attacker

Answer 22

setting it up, or setting

Answer 23

I see most people have said setting but that hits your hand a little so I would say it is tipping the ball.

Answer 24

set?

Answer 25

a set!

Answer 26

It's called a set.If more than just your fingertips are used,it's called a carry.Then the play would be turned back to the other team.

Answer 27

nothing. you don't "hit" with your fingertips.

hit means to "spike"

so you don't hit with your fingertips. you hit with ur full open hand

((HOPEFULLY!!))

but maybe ur talking about when the ball is passed ((bumped)) to you, you get under the ball and use ur fingertips to push the ball up for the hitter?? thats called a set.

Answer 28

well you don't exactly hit it with your fingertips but that would be a set

Answer 29

tip, dink, push, pass, set. All depends upon the force, intent etc.

Answer 30

setting
