This is probably the best video I've seen on volley technique and I've seen a lot. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks a ton Jenny--happy to help!
agreed. I'm curious, still unsure how far back you take the shoulder back. Don't want to take it back too far or have too short of a turn. Thanks
summary:
-continental grip is a must
-left hand is IMPORTANT, a lot of times many people's left hand falls off racquet immediately as racquet goes to set, use you left hand to help push racquet into position 1:40. great volleyers don't have left and right arm moving very independently of each other their whole upper body is in unison. even as you release left hand it stays pretty close it will help with timing and will keep whole shot in one piece.
-volley head at about 45 degree slot rather than flat or pointed straight up
-turn should NOT be similar to groundstrokes it's overturning. shoulders stop once left hand releases off racquet.
-step should be timed approximately right with contact, it will give you explosive feeling and best chance to make contact out in front of body.
-bottom edge of racquet is closer to net than top edge this will give the racquet an angle 5:25
-when becoming aware of your follow through you want to know where the bottom edge of racquet is, want it leading to net staying ahead of top edge. will create backspin and ball will stay down.
I think it's super funny that you end with "That's all I got for you guys today." You give so much great instruction. It's plenty for one day. Thanks Brady. You're instruction is clean and crisp. It's awesome.
The only video which translated to results instantly in the court today. The key missing part no other video explained is that, the racket should be above the ball ( swing path) and the bottom edge at front. Thanks a lot!!
Best volleying advice I have ever seen.
Really appreciate that ranjt!

Happy to help Caldwell!
Wish I had seen this 50 years ago. I’m not too old to learn though. Thanks 😃
Never too old Ian--thanks for watching!
Simple and perfect explanation. Well stated the importance of each and every part of shot. Especially for online learners.
Great coaching SIr. Greetings from India.
Thanks, much appreciated Kartik!
I surely think you have addressed some problem areas of my volley (both forehand & backhand). Looking forward to working on these tips. Thank you.
Thanks for watching Timothy. Good luck with your volleys!
Awesome instruction dude.....!
Thank you Ray!
Really great advice thanks
Absolutely Christopher!
Brady I actually hit my forehand volley with the "australian" grip, I found it more comfortable and natural, great tip anyway.
Best Volley I ever learned Thanks
Thanks Rene!
very good 3 step tutorial on forehand volleys
Thanks for watching!
Love it! Want to go hit right now!
Thanks Dale--do it!
I bought your volley lesson. In it, you said the swing path should be "clear the table" not up to down
I liked the video very much...perfect. One thing what is very important in my opinion is the split step!
+cmhtc69 Great point, can't emphasize that enough!
good stuff.
Thanks Nancy!
4:45- 4:50 was a big aha moment for me. Do you have any other videos that get into ground strokes and how to use linear momentum correctly so its timed right when you stroke through the ball? I feel like my body never gives me any "help" so I must be doing in the ground strokes a similar thing to what you talk about from 4:45-4:50. Any links for that?
Great video. I subscribed. Question for you what if the ball is coming right at your chest or stomach... What is the best way to return it?
Great question Rocky. Check this video out: th-cam.com/video/8_KLM92kpno/w-d-xo.html
Very good
Thanks for watching Dimesh!
Thank you Brady! Great and clear explanation! Just one thing - could you help with understanding one question: why the pros usually keep their head turned in side position even the volley shot was finished? You did the same in this video)) Thank you!
Helps ensure better contact. No need for an across the body finish on volleys so your head can remain very still.
Great technique tips when the ball coming is perfectly positioned around chest high, but what about the above the shoulder and below the waist volleys?
Here's one on low volleys: th-cam.com/video/cYULBrcFE2A/w-d-xo.html and high volleys: th-cam.com/video/etCdbf5Qg3Y/w-d-xo.html
Super tactical tips details . My problem here is good placement finishing volleys instead I get beat from a counter puncher with a passing shot. How could I do with a better placement?. Thanks Coach.
Lots of practice. I also just put out a video with a tip that might help you out with your control: th-cam.com/video/CKhYpMRqoO4/w-d-xo.html
Best volley
Nice
Thanks for watching!
thanks a lot for your great advices . I really wonder what your opinion is about weak continetal grip ( placing the index finger base knuckle on bevel 2,5, between true continental and eastern forehand grip) . thank you very much
I'm a fan of true continental on all volleys. I've seen some high level players make slight adjustments to this but I'm not one of them.
@@DailyTennisLesson great video but I was wondering the same thing.... you don’t seem to be using a “true” continental grip in your video. i.e. the grip that you are using in this video would have to be shifted slightly for a backhand volley. Am I missing something?
@@ha9199 Yes it's a true continental. I don't switch my grip in between forehand and backhand volleys.
Thanks, recently I''ve taken up the challenge to learn this stroke correctly rather than than the "ad lib" approach. Realized most of us swing thru the ball like a regular ground stroke which overpowers the shot. Another nod to the continental grip which limits this action. Like trying to nuke a s*house when a hand-grenade will do. Great stuff.
No nuke necessary on this shot. The volley is a tough enough shot as it is. Thanks for watching!
This has been a challenging endeavor to to rethink the stroke. I'm reminded of a clinic where we were challenged to hit 50 cooperative volleys with a partner. Well you know the story, eventually it was dropped to 10 and even then we had difficulty. Boiled down to overpowering the ball (not using the Cont. grip). Bear in mind this was a 3.5 - 4.0 level. Rather than relying an swing speed, power needs to come from different elements.
I’m having success with FH volley using a mild continental, then quick switch to true continental for BH volley. It feels right but I’m wondering if that’s something any pros do? Thanks
I'm not aware of any pros that change their grip on volleys. What you're doing isn't terrible, but it gets tougher at higher levels when the ball is coming faster.
The ball keeps flying when I do forehand volleys :(
Could be a few things like to much backswing or open racket face. Tough to know exactly without seeing it.

I think most of you videos are great but on this one I don't understand the backspin thing? Growing up I watched great volleyers like McEnroe, Edberg, Sampras, Rafter, Navritolova, Hingis and they rarely put backspin on the ball especially McEnroe. I think it is unnecessary in most cases. Your opponent is on the baseline and all you have to do is hit a short angle volley with no spin and you will have an easy winner. So why complicate the stroke by putting backspin on it? I can see this as one of many types of volleys but it seems to me that it should only be used if you want to hit deep on a slow ball but even then I think most people are better off just hitting straight through the ball with no spin. When people try to hit with spin they pop it up too much and hit it long. So they should just hit straight through. This will minimize unforced errors on volleys.
Good question David. Backspin (at least some degree) is a must on most volleys. I think you'd be surprised to find that all the players you mentioned hit with backspin on both their forehand and backhand volleys. McEnroe probably hits the flatest of all these players, but even he hits with backspin. Here's a clip of McEnroe: th-cam.com/video/Eqbww_9F3AU/w-d-xo.htmlm29s Notice his racket head finishes below contact point on the majority of his volleys, thus creating backspin.
