Quick smash in volleyball is a smash technique that relies on speed and sudden timing. This smash is done with a pass from a tosser that is continued no more than one meter above the net lip. This smash technique requires good cooperation between a tosser and a spiker.

The initial technique on this smash punch is no different from the other types of smash. But it is more emphasized on the unstable normal attitude and is within a closer distance from the feeder. Because the bait on this type of smash is shorter than the semi pass. The bait ball is also directed to soar over the feeder.

Another type of smash that must also be mastered is straight smash. This smash is also known for cutting motion blows. This smash is done by a player when the ball is at an optimal height and rolls at a distance as close as possible to the net or net.

To do this smash, the spiker must get closer to the side of the net post before jumping. After the ball bait approached the ideal position, the new player jumped to throw a punch.

Semi smash is also one type of smash that must be mastered by volleyball players. This smash technique is different from other types of smashes, in terms of signaging and the height of the ball. Semi smash is a smash that is done with a bait about 1-2 meters above the net lip.

This smash technique emphasizes the way it applies when the player hits the ball while at the highest point of the jump. This smash also focuses on the wrist to direct the ball into the opponent's field area.
