Proper Tennis Forehand Technique
Proper Volley Technique Tennis
Can someone explain to me the forehand and backhand volley technique, in as much detail as possible. Also some drills for volleys would be handy .
Much appreciated
always always always use a continental grip for volleys and serves (http://www.tennisserver.com/turbo/images/turbo_01_07/fig1r.jpg) and never chop down on the ball or even take a swing at the ball a volley should always be a very solid, blocking motion, you want to block the ball back, not hit it. when approaching the net you need to split step which as weird as this sounds means literally having your feet split apart about 3 feet when you reach the net, you should stand about rackets length away from the net. when you hit a forehand volley always step foreword with your left foot and the opposite for you back hand (unless your a lefty then its all flipped around). a good drill to do no matter how wierd it seems is to stand at the net have a guy toss a good drill is the closing volley drill:Start from the service lines, then close in one good step with each volley. This works especially well if you volley semi-aggressively -- not hard, but firmly and at varying heights. You're not trying to put the ball away, but rather to give your partner some moderately difficult balls to handle. This drill develops reactions, footwork, and control, but also the very important habit of closing forward.

Fast and Furious Tennis: Advanced Movement Techniques (DVD) $29.99 With Chris Russell,University of Washington Associate Head Men's Tennis CoachCoach Russell presents drills for developing the skills of explosive court movements and angle coverage to improve position on the ball. His main focus is the 'big hop', a move that expands explosiveness and court coverage. The 'big hop' is a great tool when returning the second serve. It also takes time away from the server and reduces the chance of error. This technique is also presented as a valuable strategy in doubles play. On-court players demonstrate resetting offensive position on the volley. Russell also covers the specialized forehand, which allows the player time to get positioned on top of the ball. Other movement techniques covered include the 'dipper', the 'waddle', the 'sharpie' and chasing the ball. Russell also analyzes the curve of the ball on volley shots. The proper curve makes it very difficult for opponents to hit effective return shots. This is an excellent training tool for tennis players serious about taking it to the next level! 46 minutes. 2007. |

The program also focuses on player movements and positioning by including basic footwork patterns and tips to keep you sideways for a one-handed backhand follow-through and enable you to move quickly in both directions.
