99% of Tennis Players Get This Volley Tip Wrong
“Don’t swing on volleys.”
That advice sounds right… but it’s actually the reason a lot of tennis players struggle at the net.
Because sometimes—you have to swing.
And if you don’t understand when and why, you’ll keep:
🎾 hitting late
🎾 popping balls up
🎾 dumping easy volleys into the net
In this video, I break the rule down and show you:
🎾 When a bigger takeback is not just okay—but necessary
🎾 Why faster balls require LESS swing (and what to do instead)
🎾 The real reason your volleys fall apart under pressure
And a drill inspired by Martina Navratilova that will fix your tennis volleys almost immediately.
⚠️ Once you see this, you won’t think about volleys the same way again.
