"Isn't that volley too high and too slow? Won't my opponent just crush me on the next shot?"
This is a common question I get from pickleball players when I coach them on how to hit their volleys...
It's a fair question and I can see why they might think that. So am I'm a giving them bad volley advice that will only get them crushed in games?

As a beginner, some videos are overwhelming and discouraging primarily because of my skill gap. Still at baby steps and a lot of videos are marathoners. Seeing the road to a particular skill is helpful. Thank you.

Your video is exactly what I needed at this point in my learning journey. The block volley is my struggle currently. I'll practice with a wall as you demonstrated because *nobody* in my social circle will do practice drills.

Agreed. Seems like very few people who rec. play want to drill.

Helps with eye hand coordination and reflexes. These are trainable things. Some people have better athletic skills and will learn quicker that others. But this drill will let you know where you are at in the skill level necessary for higher level play. Thanks for the information. Rick D.

Great video Nicole...thank you! Another analogy to this that most people already know is, "wax on, wax off"

Yep! Drills are a stepping stone. Ya gotta crawl before you can walk and walk before you can run!

I like slower volley drills and use them from time to time. They enable me to focus and tune details that are harder tune at higher speeds. For example: getting back to ready position after every volley, including hand position, foot position and balance; focusing on watching the ball strike the paddle and adjusting so that contact is as close to the center of the sweet spot as possible; and drilling patterns like forehand-forehand-backhand-backhand-forehand-... which works on placement. These all work with a wall too, of course. On the other hand, is there anything wrong with doing hard volleys even if there's only a handful of hits before someone misses?

Hi Bret! I love that you slow down to focus on cleaning up very specific things. As far as the high speed...if you can keep it going for 3 hits each so 6 total then you can work there but you'll be chasing balls a lot and it's gonna be pretty hard on your psyche. If that's ok for you then go for it but I don't recommend it. I'd like the average rally to be at a higher ball count. Maybe at least 5 contacts each or so at minimum.

@daveharter6469 7 ай бұрын

I am learning what you have been saying. All shots need to be " fine tuned" as you get better and play better players.

@primetimepickleball 7 ай бұрын

Yes, you need to lay a SOLID foundation and tune from there. Thanks for the comment!

I have been doing volley wall drills for a while now. I can now actually do backhand volleys; I did 100 in a row today!!! It may have not looked all that pretty at times, but I am progressing. Not too long ago I couldn't even do backhand volleys even three in a row. Today was a watershed moment. NICOLE IS RIGHT, it is a journey. Take your time and have fun out there.
