How to attack a forehand volley while combining speed and very little rebound after the glass?

Point 1: The feet and the body attitude

For a right-hander it is very important to move the right foot diagonally forward (15 / 20cm) to the left corner where the ball comes from with the right leg bent. At this point, you have to push on the right leg in order to stand up like a stopper, then transfer the body weight in one step from the right leg to the left leg. At the time of impact your feet do not touch the ground. This makes it possible to put all the weight of the body in the ball by initiating a force from top to bottom (be careful, you must choose balls that are not too low). This inertia from top to bottom will be repeated after the glass.

Point 2: Preparation

It is very important on this kind of volley that the racket is prepared well above the ball, to give as for the feet, a significant inertia from top to bottom. The shot must be done with great intensity because your opponents must be disturbed if they take the ball before the glass, if they can not (to take before the glass) the point will probably be won.

Point 3: The playing areas

I advise the right player to place this kind of volley either in the middle for more security, or on his opponent left.

For the player on the left it will be either in the middle (security) or on the player on the right by touching the side window first, devastating effect guaranteed ...
