SWING BIG: The backhand swinging volley

Take time away from your opponent with a backhand swinging volley

Published Feb 12, 2017

In order to execute the backhand swinging volley, it’s important to open up your hips and step out with your outside leg after completing a shoulder turn. The only transfer of weight happens through your hips swiveling through the shot; there’s no stepping in. Aim down the middle or crosscourt for a high-percentage shot.
