The Real Reason an Easy Volley Goes Into the Net
In trying to hit down on the ball, players often drop both the racquet head and their center of mass.
Start with this check
Forcing a winner's angle on a low volley, or losing visual focus and posture before contact, removes the available net clearance.
Try these steps in order
- Set different targets for high and low volleys according to the height of the ball.
- Keep a low ball in play deep through the middle and prepare for the next volley.
- Film whether your head height and racquet face drop abruptly from contact through the early follow-through.
Bottom line
Success on a low volley depends less on finishing power than on managing height to create one more favorable ball.
