If you were trying to describe the difference to a new official, how would you do so? (The good news is that I think I've made most of these calls correctly -- given my judgment that the ball was in the plane of the net -- a judgment some coaches have disagreed with. The bad news is I know some of these hits over the net have been "attacks" and I've let them go -- with not much objection, surprisingly.)
