One of the Best Technical Volley videos anywhere online... I've Served and Volleyed virtually every match ( Singles and Doubles ) since 1976. I was MVP on my college team and went on to play limited prize events and USTA Nationals. Listen to Jeff. He is on target with stroke checkpoints and strategy concepts.

This is the best video on how to volley that I've seen on KZfaq so far. Really clears up the misunderstanding that volley is not a downward motion while explaining good mechanics, like driving the movement from the shoulder.

Bill Tym told me players should start to learn tennis at the net by learning the volley first. Then players could move away from the net and increase the swing in the midcourt and later at the baseline. Players who learn tennis in that order tend to be able to play at all three areas (the net, the midcourt, and the baseline) while players who start learning tennis at the baseline first tend to remain being comfortable at the baseline and never really get comfortable going to the net. What do you think?

love the green courts Thanks Jeff

Great great coaching. Thank you.

such a good video jeff. thanks for sharing info based on laws of physics, biomechanics of the body, and dimensions of the court

"turning just until the strings face forwards" is a good way to think which helps me. I'll defiantly remember that one for a long time. Thank you. Also "swinging from the shoulder".

I like the shoulder be the driver for the volley. One key point for me and perhaps the most important key point is stop you hand with your strings facing the target. If you do this it will stop your follow through and keep your strings o the target line giving you a bigger hitting window. Watch pros and they commonly end up with strings facing the target. This will also limit your hand movement to something between 6 to 18 inches. Most rec players swing the racket and end up with the tip of the racket facing the opposing fence or even past the fence. Stop the hand with your strings facing the target.

I really liked this video, Jeff. I'm interested in watching more, but I need you to bookmark your videos so I can jump to specific sections. E.g., 5 Techniques. Grip. 2 Common Errors, Shadow Swing Drill, Wall Drill.

Thank you very much for your great video. I would like to know how tight you hold your racket in this case.

Clear and well demonstrated

Thanks Jeff!

Great Stuff Jeff, confirms everything I teach my students.

Great information. Very helpful. Thank you!

Great video Jeff! Also, congrats on the new location/position!

very old school , time to adjust the volley like they did with the forehand and backhand

Great analogy of "sliding your racket like its on a table"

Good explanation. I've started out my fundamentals imagining the racquet is actually a butterfly net and I'm trying to catch the incoming ball. That helps square you up when meeting the ball and making sure contact is in front.

This is the best volley vid I’ve seen. Thanks for posting.

I just came across your channel for the first time. I am trying to break a bad volley habit of swinging behind me like a groundstroke. I can't wait to practice your drills this weekend. Great, informative video. I just subscribed.🤗

most helpful volley lesson for beginners. thank you

Great explanation. Thanks!

Wonderful ways to teach volley. Thank you.

GREAT, video Jeff! Shout-out to Vic Braiden which was my first tennis instructional 📼, who used the tabletop analogy.

Gracias Jeff

This sums it up i usually volley slicing the ball down, forehand and back hand even when i do walling its the same but now i learned that its the wrong way...thanks for this good videos

Volley is not a monolithic stroke . Lower volleys are stick stop where a shoulder turn makes your volley inconsistent. It is odd that. Everyone ignores McEnroe the greatest volleyer of all time because upper body stability , which is never mentioned. On high volleys shoulder could be used but the essence is still upper body stability. On slower balls still advocate no backswing unless it is really slow , but you can add a follow through that is longer something that I call an extended stick stop , with some slice effect. The mother lode is upper body stability , and yes there are differences between volleys hit deep , and the ones hit for angles . I would not advocate Eastern grip maybe modified continental . This was my essential difference with Vic Braden. Volley is a feel stroke , even with Edberg the upper body stability is crucial. On slower volleys the path is high to low even though slightly, although on the faster ones it is correctly stated by this young man the path is not quite downward but straight .unfortunate.y volleying technique of many pros is wanting because the Europeans dominate tennis so euro style volley has become popular , but most of the Europeans were poor volleyers even with wood racquets. One of the tragedies is that no one teaches volleys like Mac, the greatest volleyer of all time , because it is the most scientific because it emphasizes the control aspec on which a power may be built as heeded . Setting with the outside foot is good , but stepping forward is dependent on many factors, during serve and volley the first volley should be hit without moving and the second volley exactly opposite without stopping . My student Andrew Rueb currently the head coach at Harvard and I have spent a lifetime studying volleys . He was himself the best serve and volley player, overall I give the young man a high grade in teaching the basics of the volleys, I just Added a few caveats. All the best

Excellent. Thank-You, I have terrible volleys. This explained it well. 🎾

Subscribed ;)

excellent.

good demonstration of volley

My son played there in tournaments as a junior.

Nice job -Jeff me boy 👍

Gz guys, this is your last vid to learn how to volley. Just do exactly what he said and it is it. Thank you so much for the video

Thank you so much Jeff! In my humble opinion I have very solid ground strokes. Lots of spin and pace and I'm very confident at the baseline. However, before today, I have been a liability at the net. And it bothered me that there was such a discrepancy between my volleys/ground strokes. But I went on court today with my girlfriend to try out your method and wow! I've been struggling for an entire year and in literally one practice session I'm volleying like a pro! Okay maybe not that good lol but I didn't believe this kind of progress would be able to have been made in a single night. Thank you so much for your video, I'll definitely share your video with all of my tennis friends 🎾

Thanks for the video. To confirm, are you saying to go with a continental or more towards eastern grip for the forehand volley?

many thanks, Jeff, very helpful. Are you really saying that we should not be aiming to put spin on the volley? Aren't there ocassions where it is important to use spin on the volley to place/control the shot?

Clear demo, very helpful. Ive noticed pros can have racquet quite close to body at baseline, but further away at net, what do you recommend Jeff?

Changing grip is what I've been wondering for so long. My only concern is the fast continuous volley where you don't have time to change your grip.

Coach, I see this error in Junior tennis all the time, especially my son. The player is about 1 feet from the net and the volley goes down to the net. Why does this happen?

Hours and hors of practice required to get that muscle memory during a match. Don't give up when you miss, just keep up those fundamentals Move forward, lead with your elbow, wrist stiff, balance your legs, eyes on the path, continental grip

What you telling is realy brand new as the volley have been invented some days ago

You’re using principles you learned from Great Base Tennis, am I correct?

Not turning is the number one error in people with poor volleys - they have the bad tip of “racket in front” in their heads and they end up being statues

Do you find that not many people know how to volley effectively these days?

Today's my match 15year old Punjab

Even in the Pro Tour, nobody wants to serve and volley anymore. - everytime.

Omg

very old school

Is that your home?

If that’s the case, next time I’ll just ask nobody.
