Remember, the goal of your half volley is three fold.
- Be consistent with your shot making. Have simple and low risk stroke technique that allows you to make this shot every time even if your oppoent has hit their shot to you with pace and spin.
- Be able to transition through this shot as you hit it, it’s not play the shot, see what you get, and then go, you have to totally commit the feet through the contact area so you can get to a better court position.
- This is not a race from the baseline to the net…
- Force your opponene to have to hit yet anither passing shot.
Below is one of the videos from my Forehand & Backhand Half Volleys Lesson.
We’re focused on the contact point, that is, when you meet, or better yet, “receive” the ball from your opponent and how we move through this shot to get to our next court position.
You will challenege your opponent more by being consistent with making this shot and then setting up at a good net position to force them to pass you rather than either trying to bash away from the baseline all day or attempt to hit all out winners off of your half volley.
