You'll Keep LOSING Until You FIX This Volley

Weak or netted counterattacks usually trace back to the same six mistakes. Fix these and your counters gain pace and consistency at the same time.

Mistake one is a downward paddle face at contact. On balls above the net, keep a continental grip with the face slightly open so the counter clears the net instead of diving into it.

Mistake two is contacting the ball too far in front with a fully extended elbow. Let the ball travel into your impact zone, about a paddle to a paddle and a half in front of you, so you still have room to push through.

Mistake three is swinging downward, especially on waist-high attacks. Push out toward your target on a linear path, since a high-to-low swing sends the counter into the net.

Mistake four is a ready position stretched way out in front. Hold the paddle relaxed and closer to your body so you have runway to push out when the speedup comes.

Mistake five is hinging from the elbow. Drive the counter from your shoulder, a bigger and stronger muscle, which also spares your elbow.

Mistake six is backing up or rising onto your toes against pace. Keep your weight on the balls of your feet with your chest over your knees, and that forward lean supplies the power with almost no swing.
