Volley and bandeja consistency drills
Key takeaway from our Guru
How can I improve my consistency under pressure?
Step and hit at the same time to reduce reliance on your arm. When you feel pressure, move your feet extra to ensure you reach the ball with a balanced body position.
What this lesson covers
Volley technique requires stepping into the ball at the moment of contact to minimize arm movement. This synchronization improves control, especially against faster balls. Players should aim to shave the back of the ball to create a high to low motion, which keeps the trajectory flat and prevents the ball from bouncing too high off the glass. When the ball is lower than the net, avoid accelerating and instead play a slower, shorter shot or aim for the fence to maintain the net position.
Bandeja consistency improves by setting specific targets, such as landing seven out of ten shots within a designated box. Pressure during training often leads to passive footwork, so moving extra and using small adjustment steps helps maintain body position toward the corner. A relaxed grip increases control, while a longer follow-through ensures the ball reaches deep into the court. When under pressure during a rally, playing deep cross-court shots reduces the risk of errors and forces opponents to defend from difficult angles.
