Conclusion

Finally, a word about strategy and placement. A common error players make is attempting to hit their volleys hard. A much better goal is to aim deep in the court with medium pace. Not only is this a higher percentage shot, but also the deep volley will be more difficult for the opponent. When deep volleys stay low they are more difficult to lob, and the opponent has less time to judge the bounce. The first volley you hit, as you are closing in for the putaway, is often the most challenging, and one that should be definitely placed deep. Once you command the net, your next volley can be angled for a winner.

Remember -- excellent posture, soft hands, elbows in, move to the ball.
