To effectively play a half volley, stay loose, drop your shoulder, keep your racket low to the ground, and use the opponent's pace to control and push the ball forward rather than adding your own power.
Understanding the half volley is really important because you'll find yourself in that tricky spot often. The coach gives practical advice on staying relaxed and letting the ball's pace do the work for you. This approach makes a difficult shot much more manageable and helps you maintain control under pressure. It's a fundamental skill to improve your defense and transition play.
