In volleyball, the server typically hits a ball with topspin -- the forward rotation of the ball as it travels over the net to the opponent's side of the court. A ball with topspin is more difficult for players to pass because it dips faster than a floater serve. Back-row players may misjudge a topspin ball and let it go, thinking it will go beyond the end line. However, the spin can cause the ball to drop inside the line, giving the server an “ace.”
