Question

i'm doing a crossword puzzle on volleyball and the question is "what is the type of overhand motion used on a serve?" the word is five letters long with the letter n in the middle. looks like this: "_ _ n _ _" please help, thanks

Answer 1

The only five letter word I can think of is 'swing' but the middle letter doesn't match.  See if the middle letter is really an 'n'
