Answer 4

Power doesn't make it fly out, the angle does. If you ahve tons of power, thats awesome, jsut make sure you angle it down. You need to bend your wrist and angle tyour hand where you want the ball to go. Check out www.volleyball.com and www.wikihow.com/Spike-a-Volleyball  (esp step 8).

Your hand controls where the ball goes and your arm controls the power. Don't loose any of that power. Practice your arm swing with wrist snapping. The faster your swing, the harder your spike. Now, with the wrist slapping, where your palm ends up facing is where the ball will go. Good luck!
