Mastering backhand volley technique, placement, and strategic use.

🏆 Your #1 Takeaway

What are the key principles of an effective backhand volley?

Focus on control and strategic placement to build the point rather than aiming for outright winners. Use a continental grip, prepare early with two hands and a turned body, prioritize a low trajectory, and adapt your technique based on your position and the ball's height and desired target (fence or center).

What Your Guru Thinks

This lesson is really helpful for understanding backhand volleys. Sven explains that it's more about setting up the point than winning it outright, which is a key mindset shift. He breaks down where to aim your volley based on your position and the ball's height. You'll find his tips on technique and grip particularly useful for getting more control and consistency in your backhand volleys. It's all about making smart decisions, not just swinging hard.
