3 Quick Fixes That Will Take Your Volley from Beginner to Advanced - Tennis Lesson 

Leading volleys with bottom edge of racket is a fantastic tip! Definitely made me more mindful of my tendency to smack high balls and trying to put topspin on low balls at the net

This is one of the better volley videos out there, great job guys

Good technique

Simply awesome! Thank you for great advice.

I took a one-day clinic with PTR Master Professional, Pete Collins years ago. One of his quotes was, "Great doubles players don't have great hands, they have great feet." And Mourataglou stresses using your legs when you volley. Your three-shelf illustration is right on.

The volley has been the second weakest part of game. And you're right, coaches always say stop swinging at the volley. Now, I really understand "what" they mean and how to correct it. I'm going to give it a try this afternoon, thanks! 🤓🎾

I coach our doubles teams at a local high school. Thanks for the tips. I agree on most except swinging through with underspin. I have the students shorten that stroke since the ball is coming at the net player with velocity already.

Always enjoy your straightforward video instruction!

You guys put out great videos, and I've always thought that your instruction on volleys (this and earlier vids) are truly some of the best out there on the topic. Keep up the great work and thanks!

Simply awesome, thank you for your great advice!

Thank for your advice, racket edge and angle so importance

I like the lead with the edge analogy!! This makes a huge difference.

Thank you very much for this video, Nate and Scott. It is the best one I have ever seen on the volley. I cannot wait to start using the bottom edge of the racket on my volleys with the continental grip

Great tips, thank you! Now I understand why my high easy volleys are going into the net...leading with the top of my racquet!

Thanks for the volley tips you have given me something to work on.

Great volley instruction. I applied Your straight forward tips on the practice court. I immediately noticed a markedly improved volleys. Thank you!!!

Brilliantly explained as always👍👌 Thanks from the UK.

Thank you Scott and Nate! You guys are awesome and have helped my game tremendously. I’ve been with play your court since August with my 15 year old and Coach Ryan Charles has been super helpful too!

Very helpful tips to improve my volley. Thank you for giving this tips.

Great tips ...thanks guys !

Great!!! Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the tips on the edges😊

Thanks! Was great help.

Great advise,imediate results.thanks a lot

Great vid! You guys are thorough, precise and pay attention to the subtle details that make a huge difference. It would also be nice to see not just the racquet position but also the body position and footwork. I feel imbalanced in my volleys so it would be cool to know the entire method.

I love the all black racket! Helpful tips

Very good instruction!

Great tip thanks

Great tips thanks !!😎

As always, great video guys.

Great video thanks

I am interested in the free course! I think your material is just superb!!! Improved a lot with several tips.

I thanks so much for your explanation plus the technic totally enough demonstrated to improve everyone volley, please continues to explains as much as you can and ignore those negative people comments. Thank you

Very helpful!

One of the useful and easy to apply tips, right here

Yes this is the tip I was looking for! I'm probably a high level 3.5 and this tip on good days brings me to a low level 4.0. Leading with the edge not only helps my volley but it also improved my overhead. Basically I think leading with the edge is a principle that can be incorporated to almost all strokes in tennis, wow! There may be times on slow balls that I just pancake my volley but this is a work in progress. Thank you!

Great video! What is the purpose of the wrist band that you have on your wrist and what kind is it? I ask cuse i have played too much in the past 2 weeks and it seems i have tennis wrist condition, and i am looking for tips how can i play after i rested, naybe a band is a good idea for me

This is truly a great video guys. These mistakes are even done with top pros when they are under stress, trying to catch up or overthinking at the wrong time. I remember saying this to myself when I was watchin D Thiem and Delpo in 2017 US quarters...Thiem was overhitting at the net sometimes, and just generally, overall when he was in trouble. Keep 'em coming guys, truly high-end videos!

Wow! I have taken so many lessons & no one has ever told me to lead with the side edge on volleys!! U absolutely explained my mistakes on volleys! Thank u for sharing, excellent video & gonna try to make the improvements 👍 🌟 🎾

Useful tip. Guess I should have some lessons! Never knew this.

Great video!

I just knew this video would be good! :) Always good to learn new stuff! :) Thanks! I usually tried to topspin the low volley...argh! :) (social tennis player )

could you show some backhand high and low volley?And Are the tips different from forehand? Thx. big fan from Taiwan.

Great video. Learnt so much. How about dealing with frame hitting the ball? It seems to keep happening. As i am trying to add some spin or angling to direct ball away, ends up hitting ball into frame...

Ive always used a backhand grip to volley. I'm looking forward to my next dbls match

Great video

Thank you for the tips couch. God blesses us all. Rahayu rahayu rahayu.🌞🌛🙏

Hello good tips

Are you keeping the racquet face unchanged on most volleys? Are you volleying from the wrist , shoulder, or both as pivotal point? Thank-you. Love you volleys and all your stuff!!

Great video if all your volleys are forehands. What about when you have to hit a backhand volley? What are the mechanical differences between the two strokes. Same grip, but do you lay the wrist back and what about the elbow and shoulder alignment? I'm PTR certified and really like these videos especially when teaching newbies to get it correct from the outset.

Great instruction as usual especially for doubles players who like the net. Unable to get your free course on my phone. Any suggestions. Where are you guys located how much do you charge for a lesson

wow now i know what's lacking in my volley .. the bottom edge... thank you

I don't find the link for the free tennis course, did it close?

ㅁWow! We've been on a tennis lesson trip since last week looking for professional coaches, and we really want to go to your court.

Just wondering what is the problem with hitting a swing volley on a low volley using topspin at 5:53?

you guys improve my execution

That was great, eXspecially the parts where Nate says eXspecially.

somehow I have gotten nervous on volleys - that has a lot to do with my mixed doubles partner, but anyway- great tips,. I need to adjust my grip. for volleys

Great tips, how do I get the link for free net mastery program? Thanks.

Great tip guys. Out of curiosity, is Nate trying to say 'rocket' intentionally?

I'm a slightly older player who learned the game back in the '50s/60's and was taught to step out (I'm a righty) with my left foot and punch the ball on a forehand volley and step with my rt. foot on a backhander. I just cannot break the habit in order to hit the "chop volley" that the modern players such as you hit with. What's the best way for me to correct this. On all of my other strokes, I've easily adapted to Oscar Wegner's MTM approach to the game, but due to loss of a couple of steps and innability to read where the ball with land after it clears the net, can no longer remain competetive in singles even though I've dropped down to playing B-level tournaments.

Please send net mastery course

if you use flexion ( like you do in the examples ) then your always leading with the edge . track the ball with the tip of the racket brings your racket on the right height . and your exemple of the heigh volley try to hit the ball at the same height please :):) the good example is 1m lower which brings your arm and racket in a different angle( its a little misleading )the height of the bad example everybody will try to play a smash movement

so acurrate, so simple, so effective keep going guys ! we are watching you 👍

Am I still able to get your net mastery link?

What’s a 3-5 or 4-5 volley??

So it seems that you're coming under the ball at a slight angle to give the volley more "bite." A teaching pro thought I was more advanced than I was [boy, did he learn fast] and taught me this volley, but I soon lapsed to a very flat, soft volley. I have got to work on this. Thanks, guys.

I'm a 3.0, not a 3.5. Can you raise me to a 4.5? :) I have always used the continental grip on volleys, but have never been told about the leading edge concept. My volleys largely go either straight down or long, so I'm eager to work on this technique. Hey, maybe this will help me get closer to a 3.5 anyway, eh. But then, I'm 72 years old, so maybe major improvement isn't in the cards for an old guy.

Continental make some great tyres

I’m going to try this next time I play. My volleys suck so I always play at the baseline

What does "lead with edge" mean?

The backspin doesn't cause the lift on a low ball. The angle of the racquet gives the lift. The backspin gives touch and control.

What about backhand volley???

sooo much takeback and swing on the volley though... isn't that too much? even on the correct ones? (obviously these are pace-less balls so you have to wack em a bit)

Always lead the edge Is that correct

Comment. That’s mean. No, thank you, easy and excellent tips

I have the most problems with junk floaters Especially at the body.

Hello

I disagree with the continental grip. I have often used an eastern grip on my volley when I don’t have enough time. Grip has nothing to do with the volley, it’s the way you allow the ball to rebound of your strings. I have taught kids who sometimes use eastern on their volley and I don’t fix it as long as the motion is the same and the strings are facing.

Good to know by the back hand volley wasn't demonstrated

Nate looks like dan bilzerian...with a good volley

Nate looks like grigor

I don’t think you added enough ads.

around 8 min this was not a volley!!! this was forehand slice what you produced and not volley!!???

The way he demo is WRONG.

Waste my time. I don’t learn anything. You guys just talking too much and try to promote your business in a wrong way.

Horrible video. Tooooooo much talking and not enough examples
