Most notable to me and not commented on by you is how your eye stays where the ball was after your shot, more so than other videos I see ,this must play an important part in how effective your volley is.
@@SupremeTennis it's like I can't connect the racket to the ball very well when its too low and if it does hit the sweet spot it gets hard to place it and same with the high balls at the net that comes right in the face!!
Thanks for the response. Okay firstly, any ball that comes to your face or body, make sure to use your backhand volley. You will be able to react quicker and it’s physically far less awkward than using the forehand volley. Also, if you find you struggle to react to those balls quick enough, try to keep your racquet a little higher in your ready position when at the net. Look at the top doubles players.. their racquets are generally a little higher than that of a singles player as they have to deal with more reaction type volleys. Singles players only usually come in when they are on the offensive. With the low volleys, you have to get low. Remember to always keep your racquet head slightly above your wrist and maybe open up the face a little more too. You won’t be able to punch these volleys hard, you have to go for placement. So guide the ball deep into the corners (preferably the opponents backhand corner) or play a drop volley. When attempting to go deep with these low volleys, try not to chop or hack down on the ball, but instead extend through the motion more (I speak about this in the video). This will help you achieve better depth and set up an easier second volley. If you are really close to the net, angling off a drop volley will be your best option. Remember a loose grip to absorb the pace of the ball when playing drop volleys. I hope this helps.
