Thanks for responding. I'm not sure I understand and hope you can do a video. With wrist close-ups :) Also, haven't there been some volley technique developments since the 1970s? The old style was keeping a 90 degree wrist angle through contact, while today more players "chop" at the ball like in your Federer "hammer" video. Also, wasnt' the swing volley very rare in the wooden racquet days.
The swing volley wasn’t that popular and us also another type of volley . I still see a lot of videos were they talk about body turn , step in, fall into the ball, racket above wrist , bend the knees , extend towards target and all these things they were already asking me when I started in the 70s so that’s what I mean with there didn’t changed a lot . Well chopping is also not good according to a lot of videos but if the chopping or flexing comes out if the hand or wrist then I’m happy to hear that there are some things changing I’ll make a video about those wrist positions 👍
Interesting video. In this video, you discuss a flex-to-neutral wrist. However, in your other video about "hammering" ( th-cam.com/video/ARiYQUZiekI/w-d-xo.html ), you discuss using ulnar deviation in the wrist. 1. Please explain how these two methods should be combined. 2. If they are alternatives, when should each one be used or avoided? Thank you
Well first I changed to flexion because some people were confused about hammering being more a vertical movement and not a horizontal or diagonal movement ( so maybe not the best idea to use that term ) and second you can lay your wrist straight back so which will make it pure flexion into neutral or you can lay back your wrist in that radial ( higher balls ) or ulnar ( lower balls ) so the tip goes up or down and back towards contact depending which ball is coming. So to not make it to difficult and more understandable I just used the term flexion ( in lower contact bringing the tip down “ ulnar “ were we track it with the racket, you’ll make a motion up ( towards radial ) and back to then come back to flexion or were before I used hammer into contact I hope it’s clearer now
In the normal FH when the racket drops into the slot position the wrist is laid back and in ulnar so going into neutral is making the racket going up and for that topspin. By the low balls in the volley you track it ulnar but in the take back you go to radial which on the way back to contact you go down so you make slice Hope this can help to to understand the difference but I’ll make a video about it
Interesting to look back in time to the 70s and discover simple volley technique.
Excellent
