  • Hey Brent, received any letterbombs yet from all the people running coaching courses in national programs a round the world. How dare you "dispel" the techniques you need to pass those courses :-).

    Good work, answers the common question by commentators "why can't so many pros feel comfortable in the volley" or more specifically "why doesn't Fed serve volley nadal out of wimbledon?"

    I like that so many coaches say punch, when they've never punched in their life, or do so very badly too.

  • Great tips. I would like to hear your thoughts on positioning - too many times I find myself trying to volley with the ball dipping below the net. In doubles, it seems like I get to the service line and either have a really low volley or a half volley. Any thoughts on how to get in position to volley balls above the net? Thanks!

  • Thanks for the tips.My coach has been teaching me to play out in front and it felt weird but since i was just begining I just thought that was how it was supposed to be when you volley.

  • This is right on point, and helps clear up the conflict between what I've been taught in the past.  I realize that the more I stroke a ball the better the volley. On the other hand, without time a stroke is impractical.

  • @georgep202 We should always prep the racket for worst case - lots of power coming in from your opponent. If you prep the racket correctly, you can simple re-direct that pace to your target.

    If you prep your racket for worst case, and then you get medium to slow pace, then a little back swing to add some pop to your volley is fine - Brent
