One important clarification on the volleying section. The situation I’m describing here is one where you’re at the net and the volley battle has ensued. The point has become chaotic and unpredictable. This is where you want to use those short volley swings. If you get a slow, floating ball right out in front of you, then you would absolutely want to swing bigger at the ball because you have more time to prepare the swing. But in the case of a chaotic point at the net, keep things short and precise.
Your not wrong about adjusting your feet first..what a light bulb moment! My game has a tendency to break down after some intense games. Not lately with the first thought of moving my feet first. You have changed my game, thankyou. Karl
I like your instructions, very easy to understand. You have some of that external learning information. I have no paddle experience in my life. I wish you were in Huntington Beach California. Would take lessons from you.
In the vast majority of finesse situations, yes. But not during hard shots or even blocks at times. That's pretty tough to do. But if you're trying to volley something or reset, it's essential.
As always, great information. I’m a bit confused about coming in to the net, based on his shot. All I could see in the example was him not hitting back as far. If you run up based on him hitting it shallower, then into 😊the kitchen, what is stopping him from going back to the deep shot? Obviously, if you are at the kitchen, he can try for a deep shot, and you hit it out of the air. How is this different than coming in sooner in your example?

Do you keep loose grip all the time ?
