Brady, I've only been playing for a few years after being a baseball and football player in my youth. On pure athleticism I've probably gotten up to playing 4.5 tennis. My biggest weaknesses are techinical and nothing is weaker than my back hand volley. But your instruction is so specific, it really is special. thanks so much for putting so much effort into it.
One of the best videos on the backhand volley. Captures all the points in a quick short video. Thanks.
Happy to help--thanks for watching!
Again great instruction! Thank you!
again good video, good explanation -> very helpful! Thanks! 🙂👍🏽
Always great instruction Brady! Thanks for your efforts!
Of course! Thanks for your support.
Thank you so much for the click. I have learnt a lot!😊
Great Job. There are very few Pros who are advanced volleyers anymore... You might have to look back to Rafter, Edberg, or Cash.
There are a lot of videos out there nowadays but this is a very concise explanation of the many facets of the backhand volley with emphasis on key aspects. Well done!
+dioscurity Appreciate that. Thanks for watching!
Thank you. I just watched several of your videos on two-handed backhand, forehand, and volleys. I practiced my swing along with you and took some great little notes to remind me when I'm on the court. :)
Awesome, thanks for watching and good luck with your game!
Awesome explanation- thank you!
Much appreciated Bob!
Awesome! Cant wait to try it
Good luck!
you are a good Coach I did enjoy your video
Thanks for watching Ahoora!
Great tennis lesson... thank you!
Thanks, much appreciated!
The clarity of the lesson is impressive. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the really helpful video. I've really had trouble with my backhand volleys
I usually do drop shots but I want to learn to hit it deep. Thanks👍
+M.E.W.F Glad you found it helpful!
Thank you so much!
+Yunkyoung Park Thanks Yunkyoung!
This is a keeper. Thanks.
Happy to help Carlton!
Great explanation.
Congrat.
Thanks Jose!
Super awesome 🎾🏆
Thanks for watching!
I find visualising the "equator" of the tennis ball helps me bring together all the elements of the backhand volley.
I like that reference point as well. A great visualizer!
Nice video thank you sir
You're welcome Ajay--thanks for watching!
Well done.
Appreciate that Jeff. Thanks for watching!
if you use inbetween cont & eastern bh grip you can get more power and backspin
I like your volley technique
Thanks Mei-Ling!
Brady,
Would you please do a video on inside-out backhand volley if you have the time? Thanks
Good suggestion. I'll add it to the list!
being a one hander backhand eases the transition, and actually my backhand volleys are way superior to me for forehand volley. I cant scoop up balls with it like my bh does, and it feels a bit uncomfortable acceleration to put them away like my BH does in the same "slicing" diagonal motion. I dot step away from the ball to let my arm swing more freely, but the same motion with the FH is a grey area for me lol
You probably give tennis lessons in the USA, don't you? If you do so, where? :)
Love your videos by the way, always looking for your latest upload.
Greetings from Germany!
+TheLegendAliveGaming Thanks Germany! Yes in Los Angeles, California.
As someone new to tennis, I find it difficult to hold the racquet in the correct position for backhand volley (especially once left hand lets go of the racquet) and hit at the angle you show. And at contact, the racquet moves when the ball hits it. Maybe my wrist is not yet strong enough to do that since it is a new way of moving the wrist and feels unnatural. Like I have never used the wrist that way before. Is that common? Is it a matter of building up wrist strength and muscle memory?
Hey coach, could you put up some tutorials for lockdown times? Is wall practice a good volley drill?
Yes a wall can be great practice, even for volleys!
Can you pls share a drill video :)
Should we ever use wrist ? (At any part of the shot to adjust the angle of the racket during the contact etc.)
Not on volleys. I may break wrist a smidge on a very high backhand but that’s basically a backhand overhead at that point.
Do you have specific advice for low backhand volleys? I keep hitting them into the net. The other issue I have is how to time the step of the dominant leg.
Got the video just for that: www.dailytennislesson.com/video/low-backhand-volley-tech/
@@DailyTennisLesson Thank you!
Great content coach! But shouldn't the racquet face be square at contact?
It depends on the height of the ball. If the ball is at or below the level of the net you're going to have to open your strings a bit, while at eye level it will be almost square or for high balls you'll be square or even slightly closed. Thanks Samuel!
Daily Tennis Lesson well, I doubt anyone sees this post, but here goes.....Brady, I analyzed your technique here and the balls you are hitting are all above the net, around your shoulder, and there is no way your racket head is perpendicular to the ground.....no way. Your racket face on every ball you hit in this video is always open (facing up), not perpendicular. I even paused the video right at contact to see your racket head, and it is not even close to being square (perpendicular). So, I guess you must just have great backspin to bring the ball down. This has been my struggle on the hard high balls hit at me while at the net (playing doubles). Not easy to step forward or even turn my shoulder much....but it seems I hit too many long because racket head is not square enough, being slightly open. I guess, being a short player, I don’t have that downward slice like you do....although yours appear to be only going downward slightly. Mostly outward.
@@blessedbeliever8725 This is an important clarification that you bring up. I've often heard coaches say to hold the leading-bottom-edge of the racquet angle through the shot, but for an awful lot of shots--if you look at the replay frame by frame, their racquet face is actually almost straight up and down at the exact point of contact, then the angle increases as they swing through the shot, to accomplish the back-spin. If you ACTUALLY do exactly as instructed on any ball that isn't close to the ground, the ball will fly up. This was so confusing to me at first and I think leads a lot of beginning volleyers to frustration when they try to follow directions, but volley after volley flies up and out of the court. Also--I paused this video right at the point of contact at 5:02 and the racquet is very close to perpendicular. If the camera was one or two feet to the left of where it is, it would look square.
this looks like he's in utah. this is good advice.
Southern California. Thanks for watching!
Great video! Question - I find that when I'm reaching for a backhand volley, the racket face ends up almost parallel to the ground, i.e. it's horizontal. In other words, the bottom edge is way too far out in front and its impossible the hit the ball squarely. What am I doing wrong?
That's actually pretty normal...if you're extremely extended on a backhand volley you're racket face will naturally open up, which is why a drop volley is actually a good play in that situation. However if you're not at absolute full extension, focus on not turning your palm down which is ultimately how the racket is opening up.
Thanks! I'll give it a try.
Missed one very important tip me thinks, swing from the shoulder and don't flap the arm to contact?
Good stuff TNT!
what if you have a two handed backhand volley?
Same concepts, but you won't get as much extension and spin. I would encourage you to switch to a one-handed backhand, which will be frustrating at first but well worth it.
I'm new. My coach said to learn slice first, then I can learn volley then serve. Is this true?
They all use the same grip, so this is not a bad idea. However, learning how to slice (and be competent at it) will take time...and you can't truly can't play tennis until you learn how to hit serves and volleys. As long as you're OK with that.
That grip doesnt look like a true continental. It looks like you are fisting a bevel 2.5 to firm up the wrist.
I saw the same lol
Trying this in pickleball
Forgot the most important thing... Shoulder turn
Overrated on volleys, definitely wouldn't say most important.
@@DailyTennisLesson on backhand volleys... It's definitely the most important thing... Not on Forehand volley though
Thank you so much!
For sure Farida!
