The Federer Forehand And Backhand Volley

A nice video in slo mo of The Fed warming up his range of volleys.
Just a few key points.
1 Look where he is practicing this….not up at the net, but nearer to the service box line.From there he can warm up his entire range of volleys, some low, waist and high.
2 Watch how he turns his shoulders..everytime.
3 Obviously he uses the continental grip..see below
4 Note that depending on the height of the ball that comes at him, he changes the height of his wrist in preparation for each volley.
5 Note that on the high volleys he finishes with the racket head always above the wrist.
6 Note that on the lower volley, he cuts the ball more, so the racket head takes acroos the body movement
7 His footwork……………….

 

Now the continental grip - this is the key for the volley- below a great video that talks about the grip..
