🏆 #1 Takeaway - What are the most common backhand volley mistakes and how to fix them?
Common backhand volley mistakes include using the wrong grip, not rotating the body, neglecting the left hand, scooping the ball, hitting too early, hitting instead of pushing, and not adjusting the racket face; fix these by using the Continental grip, rotating shoulders, using the left hand for preparation and balance, pushing the ball forward, and adjusting the racket for different targets and ball heights.
