Thomas does a great job of showing how to adjust your racquet head to the ball, stance, and pulling across on the follow through. This is a pearl of wisdom among tennis videos. One thing that I’ve learned talking with my good friend Mark Gabriel (who also studies tennis videos is that just hitting hard doesn’t cut it when playing a singles match”. Jeff Salzenstein has a course on singles that talks about how important it is to keep the ball out of your opponents strike zone. Thomas from Top Tennis Training shows how to make this heavy topspin shot.

This video shows in great detail how to get the feel for a solid forehand volley with control. Notice that the volley is an outside to in shot with the elbow. The elbow starts away from body then closes in from right to to left for a right handed player. Jeremy’s forehand volley video is one of the most insightful revelations I’ve ever seen.
https://youtu.be/xhejB6vRRUc This is a great video of how to stay loose on the forehand, and that not everyone swings “like” Roger Federer. This video shows how to keep your eye on the ball and the order of the moving parts of the body for the forehand. The serve segment shows how to distribute weight shift and the proper use of leg drive.
youtu.be/PJ875KQ9ATE The fluidity of the forehand volley is surprising. From the graphic video shown below I see total relaxation in the preparation of the volley where the racquet tip raises to the height of contact, then pushes to the ball as the “tip of the racquet naturally kicks back with lag.” This little movement creates amazing feel, relaxation and trust as the hand movement forward creates effortless power with little spin on the ball. Watching this video over and over will give you the feel of how the forehand volley is consistently placed well throughout a match. Enjoy it. This schematic was used by Vic Braden a great coach whom I had the pleasure to work for back in the 80’s when he brought his tennis camp to New Seabury on Cape Cod. When it rained we came to the club that I’m at now—The Falmouth Sports Center.
Enjoy! youtu.be/WFykxnY52NE Roger has the ability to handle anything high or low, fast or slow, at the body, or wide, using a wide variety of shot selections based upon how much time he has to prepare for the return. Enjoy watching the magician at his craft. https://youtu.be/QU_MFbUAIik
