volée

CONT: Un joueur perd le point [...] s'il frappe la balle de volée avant qu'elle n'ait passé le filet.

OBS: Type of ball that comes off a racquet in which the volley stroke was used.
OBS: In English the term ""volley"" can either mean the actual stroke or motion whereby the ball is hit before it bounces, or it can mean the result of such an action. In French, two terms (volée/balle volée) are needed to render this reality. Plural: volleys.
