Tip:
Do your players have trouble misjudging the incoming ball when hitting volleys? Are there times when you see them position themselves too close or too far from the ball? Do they tend to have the same approach to all of the incoming balls when they are at the net?
In this week’s tip, USPTA Professional Brett Hobden discusses the proper distance between the body and the ball when hitting volleys. He explains that the higher the ball, the farther away from the body the contact must be. Check out what he has to say as he demonstrates the low, medium and high volleys.
