Answer 1

You use your palm for the power and your fingers are spread as wide as possible giving stability.  Your ball will go wherever you point your middle finger.  If you flip your wrist and fingers to the right, that is where your ball will go and so on.  Spread your hand out as big as possible when you hit the ball.  Good luck with tryouts.

Answer 2

palm!

if your going to tip the ball though, fingers.

you will know if you contact the ball well if you hear a &quot;splat&quot; sound when your palm hits it. if you hear a &quot;thud&quot; sound then you did not contact the ball right.

good luck at tryouts (:

Answer 3

Have you ever tried to pick up a volleyball with one hand?

You spread your fingers out and you have a firm, tight hand..

(Some people can&#039;t pick it up because their hands aren&#039;t big enough)

This is kinda how you want to hit the ball..

You want to have a big hand..

So you have as much of your hand on the ball as possible..

That way, you have more control of where the ball goes

and won&#039;t shank off the side of your hand..

But most of the ball should hit your palm..

Use your fingers to get on top of the ball and snap your wrist..



Have fun!

Answer 4

You use your palm...if you were to spike with any real power and you used your fingers you could well brake them.

Using the palm and heel of your hand is the way to go!!

Good luck!

Answer 5

Palm

Answer 6

Palm with fingers you could seriously damage them plus the palm is harder and more tough!
