What Your Guru Thinks

This lesson offers really useful advice on improving your volley technique. The coach emphasizes keeping the racket head high, not just the racket itself, for better stability and control at the net. They explain that effective volleying is often about simple blocking and pushing, rather than big swings. It highlights how better players focus on doing less, keeping movements small and sharp, which is a great concept to understand.
