Absolutely in no way shape or form is the volley a PUNCH. Not a Jab, Cross, or Upper Cut. Thanks so much for spreading solid info instead of misinformation
People who play cricket may get confused with ‘catch’. Typically after a catch in cricket, people take their hand(s) back to reduce the impact on hands.
@@sravandanda2302 Good to note! I don't know anything about cricket. Although in volleys, players can "recoil" their volley follow-through against hard balls. So is this cricket catch similar to a recoil volley? - example: ruclips.net/user/shortsb39_-GXO2KY
Great advice. In doubles, there's no time for punch, pop, caress, half swing, or dink. Continental grip, keep your hands in front of you, and give it a squeeze.
I think when some people say punch in volley, they mean to meet the ball more square, less slice, less back spin, but with much more pace. sometimes, when I volley a slow ball or aim the opponent net player, I want to finish the point with more pace, so I will punch the ball, give it more power, if I just volley to an empty space, I will add more slice, so the ball stays low and dies more quickly.
@@DailyTennisLesson You are indeed one of the best coaches on RUclips, I learned a lot from you. Can I suggest you do some lessons on shot choices for both singles and doubles, especially doubles? I play a lot doubles, I realize more and more that the shot choice is more important than the technique sometimes.

Thank you. What grip do you use¿
Great Tips from Coach Brady 👍🏻🎾❤️
Thanks Cesar!
Why do we want backspin on a volley by default vs topsin on a groundstroke?
Many reasons but the best answer is for more control. Time (or lack thereof) and height that topspin provides off the baseline are other big reasons.
"Catch" is a great word 👍
Yes much better than punch!

Agreed!

Yes, the instruction is well intended but it produces bad results IMO. Catching is a phrase that resonates much better with my students.
