Wow I did so more research for volleyball...
Here are a few things that I learned:
For the jump serve you can put top spin on the ball which generates more velocity and it sinks and the end. You can figure out where this serve is going but you need to be quick in order to get to it. Annie Luhrsen is a great example of someone who did this. Her serves were fast and sunk into the court at the end.
There is also a serve called the Float Serve that is sort of like a knuckle ball in baseball. The float serve is not as fast as the serve I was talking about above, but it moves around more and it is much more difficult to pass. I think...going off of memory...that Jessica Isaac has used this serve in games. I know that I've seen Coach Tim O'Brien serve a knuckler in practice before.
Also the higher in the higher you make contact with the ball the harder it is for the opponents to hit it back.
I hope I interpretted the conversation I had with a volleyball coach correctly!
