Calculate volleyball hitting percentage from kills, errors and attempts.
Subtracting errors from kills means the metric can be negative, unlike most percentage statistics. A hitter with equal kills and errors scores zero regardless of volume. Because errors are penalised as heavily as kills are rewarded, the metric favours controlled attacking over high-risk hitting.
Volleyball Hitting Percentage
Hitting percentage = (kills − errors) ÷ total attempts
