Fix your backhand volley technique using the non-dominant hand.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - How can I improve my backhand volley technique for better power and control?
Focus on using your non-dominant hand to guide the shot, adjust your preparation based on the ball's speed, and prioritize the correct technique over the immediate outcome of the shot.

What Your Guru Thinks

This lesson is great if you are looking to refine your backhand volley, especially if you struggle with power and consistency. The coach focuses on using your non-dominant hand to improve your technique and control. He breaks down the shot into manageable steps, helping you understand how to adapt your preparation based on the speed of the incoming ball. Focusing on the technique rather than the outcome of the shot will help you see real progress.

Technique Secrets for a Perfect Backhand Volley (ft. Coach Hugo Cases)

Description

Today we bring you another advanced technique session with Hugo Cases, one of the best technical coaches on the internet and someone who has helped me fix dozens of details in my game over the years.

This time we dive deep into the backhand volley, a shot that looks simple… but is one of the hardest to execute correctly at high level.

Hugo explains why most amateur players “tap” the ball instead of pushing through it, why the preparation tends to stay too short, and why the non-dominant hand is actually the key to generate power, direction, and stability.
I’ve trained this shot with him for years, and still every session I learn something new.

If you enjoy more advanced, technical breakdowns like this, let me know in the comments and we’ll keep bringing more episodes with Hugo!

And if you’re looking for a new racket, the HOOK Solid is finally back in stock at a great price.
