Alan Margot — Clever Tennis Those Volleys — What's In Your Footwork? Click here to view QuickTime version
So, I’ve got to ask, “How do you move when you hit a volley? What’s in your footwork? Do you run right through it? Do you stop, get set and step in? Do you wait for the ball to come to you?” We’re going to have some fun in this segment as I’m going to demonstrate some of the common volley errors that players make when they volley. You’ve seen the “The Old Anchor volley” and the infamous “Buttinair.” Yeah, you’re gonna love watching this! We’ll then put together a format, explaining the Two-Step Shuffle and the advanced Three-Step Shuffle, with the focus on keeping you centered and balanced as you close on your volleys. This will make sure those embarrassing errors don’t happen to you!
