Is context even needed for a clip like this?
Here's all you need to know. The "spike" in volleyball is one of the most exciting and simultaneously aggressive moments in all of sports.
Executing a good spike is like making a "hit-stick" tackle as a safety in the NFL. It's the moment that gets the crowd on their feet and almost feeling the adrenaline of the game.
You know it's a good one when you can draw a visceral reaction from those watching. The "oooh" following a big hit (or spike, in this case) is not even voluntary. Your body just seems to know that whatever just happened tends to hurt a lot.
So with all that in mind, feast your eyes on perhaps the most aggressively punishing volleyball spike of all time.
Omg she showing no mercy

If you didn't feel that hit to your face then you need to check your pulse because you may not actually be alive.
