Master defensive volleys to control the point using the back wall.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - How should I use defensive volleys to control points and neutralize attacks at the net?
Focus on using flat volleys aimed to land just in front of the service line. This forces the ball to die off the back wall, preventing your opponent from attacking and allowing you to gain a better court position and offensive opportunity. Avoid slice when defending low volleys as it often results in the ball going into the net.

What Your Guru Thinks

This lesson with Asier is super helpful if you are looking to improve your defensive volley game. He clearly explains how to use flat volleys to make the ball die off the back wall, giving you a tactical advantage. Understanding the difference between flat and slice volleys in defense is key, and Asier breaks it down nicely. Focus on hitting the ball flat and aiming for a specific spot on the court to maximize the effectiveness of your defensive volleys.
