Whether you are an avid doubles player, primarily play singles, or a junior player trying to improve your game, knowing how to play at the net is key to advancing to the next level. By having a good net game, you can play more aggressively, shorten points, run less, and win more. Here are a few tips for better volleys:

Grip – When hitting volleys, it comes down to quick reactions and control. Hence, you should hit your volleys using the continental grip. The benefit of using this grip is that it is easy to set up, and you don’t need to change it between your serve, forehand volleys, backhand volleys, and overhead.

Preparation – When preparing for volleys at the net, have a wide stance, knees slightly bent, bodyweight in the front of your feet, racket pointed forward with the head tiled up, and your non-dominant hand cradling the throat of your racket for support. Make sure to split step as soon as the ball is hit in your direction.

Body Position – Once you’ve identified whether you’re hitting a forehand or backhand volley, you need to turn sideways at about a 45° angle from the net. Likewise, your feet should be staggered at the same 45° angle as well.

Technique – When hitting a forehand volley, open the wrist so the racket goes to the side and parallel to the net. Keep your wrist locked when making contact. For both the forehand and backhand volleys, any movement in the arm should come from the shoulder. Keep your elbows tucked in at the start, and make contact with the ball in front of your body. One of the most common mistakes I see is play ers bringing their racket too far back when hitting a volley, which results in making late contact and loss of control.
