GET IT LOW: Low Volleys

Play over the lowest part of the net to keep low volleys in play.

Published May 14, 2016

The low volley is tricky, and discourages a lot of players because they don't know how to hit it or even where to hit it. The biggest thing to focus on is getting your racquet strings under the ball—and using your legs to get you there instead of bending from your back. Also try to resist going for an outright winner.
