"Awful ball" is a good term for what I do now. We do bump-set-spike, but "spike" is probably a generous label for most of what we're putting out there. Grass is probably my favorite surface in that you can dive without scraping yourself up but you can still get a bit of push off the ground on your jumps. I fully live up to the stereotype of the white guy with no ups so I'm not a very effective hitter on sand. I bet you would have fun playing at the Y (feels good to be out on the court again after years of not playing), although bar volleyball has the added benefit of getting drunk after (or before...I won't judge).
At this point if anyone is actually playing 3 hits and not just slopping it over on one or two I would be quite pleased. I don't care if they're just passing it over. Same on white with no ups BEFORE I got old and bigger. Life happens.
