Top Spin jump serve

< A top spin spins rapidly forward from the top. The server tosses the ball a little higher than normal, strikes the ball towards the top of the back in a down and outward motion and then follows through with his or her swing.

The topspin serve has a much more predictable movement than the other types of serves, however it can still be very difficult to respond due to the quick speed that is generated. Such serves are also notoriously difficult to pass.

Technique
Serving a volleyball with top spin begins with the toss.

 Set up your stance  Begin with your feet shoulder width apart facing the net You should be at least 5–8 feet (1.5–2.4 m) behind the line to have enough space for a 3-4 step approach. Your dominant arm should be directly in front of you, palm up, with the ball in your palm Toss the ball into the air  Step forward with your dominant foot and keep the toss in line with your hitting shoulder. As you step forward, throw the ball high into the air and slightly forward with your dominant hand.</li> Flick your wrist when tossing the ball to create spin on the ball.  Toss with your strong hand, keep the ball in front of you, and don't throw it too high or low</li></ul></li> Take three or four quick steps forward. <ol> This should go slow to fast, so that your last two steps are much quicker and should look like they're happening at the same time.</li> On your last step forward, launch yourself into a jump. Use the momentum from the steps above to get higher in the air  If you're right handed, your steps will be left-right-left. If left handed, you'll be right-left-right.</li></ul></li></ol></li> Hit the ball.  Create lots of forward momentum by rotating your hips and body through the serve.</li> You should be broad jumping into the court on your jump serve and jump float <ol>At the highest point of your jump, bring your hand down in a snapping motion slightly underneath the ball This way you can aim upwards, but wrap your wrist over the top, which creates an up-down arc with the serve</li></ul></li></ol></li></ul></li></ol></li> </ol>
