The Volley

This tip involves the shot that usually makes or breaks a doubles team or the net rushing singles player. The position of your feet are the key. Try this little test I just invented! Push your right palm against a wall. If you are right handed step forward with your left foot. For a backhand volley step with your right foot. Lean towards the wall with your hand positioned in front of you. You can feel the leverage. Its that simple! Lean forward on your volley. When you move your weight forward well (using your legs), there is no need to use your wrist or elbow. Just push forward and keep your racquet path straight through the ball. Punch through the window (above the net.)
