So, today I&#8217;m gonna show you a simple trick that could really have a huge impact on your volleys, and to be honest, this video is really for everybody, if you&#8217;re having a hard time finding the timing on your volleys, this might help. So, to start off, if you&#8217;re not from planet Earth, you might not be familiar that there&#8217;s this thing called gravity. And gravity pulls down, as I hope we all know. And a lot of players I think forget about this concept of gravity when they&#8217;re volleying, and they start with their hands too low. The reason this is a problem is you start with your hands to low to volley, and you get a high volley, you&#8217;re too slow to pull up to make contact with that ball. So a lot of these higher volleys that we actually think should be easier become more difficult, because we&#8217;re slow getting there. Remember, gravity pulls down, so if I need to get low, gravity&#8217;s gonna help me get down towards the ball. So what I would recommend if you&#8217;re having a hard time tracking your volleys or having a hard time putting away high volleys up at the net, really think about starting with your hands a little bit higher, maybe those strings even with your face. This way when you go to get a high volley, you can reach up and make a contact with ease. If you get a low volley, gravity will help pull you down to get down there to hit that volley. I know this is simple, but it could have huge impact on your game.
