Keys to better volleys

Tip of the day

Today’s video teaches how to volley effectively at the net, a crucial skill for aggressive play.

The core technique involves keeping your paddle out in front, ready to intercept the ball with a firm, stable wrist.

You'll learn to use a short, punchy motion, absorbing the ball's pace rather than swinging.

The video also emphasizes the importance of split-stepping and maintaining a balanced stance for quick reactions.

Proper footwork and anticipation are highlighted, allowing you to move efficiently and cover the net.

Volleys are about controlling and placing the ball strategically, not just hitting it hard.

Key Points:

  • Ready Position: Maintain a ready position with your paddle out front and a stable base.

  • Short, Controlled Motion: Use a short, punchy motion to absorb the ball's pace, emphasizing control over power.

  • Split Step and Footwork: Employ a split step and agile footwork to react and cover the net quickly.

  • Wrist Stability: Keep your wrist firm and stable to ensure accurate and controlled volleys.

  • Placement Over Power: Focus on placing the volley strategically rather than hitting it with maximum power.
