Mastering the block volley technique against fast overheads.

PadelJo
🏆 #1 Takeaway - What are the key principles for hitting an effective block volley?
Use a split step, prepare early, hit the ball in front, commit to the shot, and stay at the net unless your block forces a weak return.

What Your Guru Thinks

This lesson is really helpful if you often face opponents who hit hard overheads. The coach shows you how to absorb pace and use the block volley effectively at the net. You'll learn key elements like the split step, preparation, and proper contact point. Understanding when to stay at the net after the block is also covered. It's great for neutralizing strong attacks.
