Overcome tough situations… get “Tournament Tough”

09/22/2026

Most of the power on a volley comes from the oncoming ball. You do not produce the power… You redirect the power. A backswing is not necessary. Tighten the grip. Advance to the ball. Quickness and Precision are the keys. Let’s Go.

If your overall strategy is to pressure your opponent from the net… use an Eastern Forehand Grip. Approach Shots, aggressive return of serve, and transition to the net game will be one complete comprehensive system. Let’s Go. Take Charge.

Practice methods of stealing time from the opponent. Play on the rise, rush and crush, volley approach of a floating slice, hit an approach off a weak second serve… Keep the opponent off balance and hurried. Let’s Go. “ Full Court Press “

Keep the Racquet Head Up… Maintain the “V” angle. Better power, precision, string contact, aggressive opportunity.

Building a solid forehand foundation starts with quality blueprints and trusted contractors to carry them out.

Here is your inspection checklist to make sure the whole building process is up to code.

- EARLY UNIT TURN with a CLOSED RACQUET FACE

- COIL THE FRONT HIP at the TARGET

- ANGLE the BUTT CAP up to the BALL 🎾

- UNCOIL the HIPS to point your BELLY BUTTON at the TARGET

- FINISH your HANDS UP by your EAR

- “ON YOUR TOES” on the recovery SPLIT STEP.

LET’S GO. I mean really … go to the practice court.

For better volleys… Keep it Short. Short backswing. Short Follow Through. Short Preparation Time. Keep it Short.

Let it go…Let it flow… Don’t look back, there’s nothing in the rear view you need to know.

Sometimes the only thing that matters is “Keep it in Play”. Stay in the point, somehow. On a wide low ball, a cross court slice floater keeps the point alive. Keep it deep and buy some time to recover your court position.
