VOLLEY FROM THE RIGHT.

The correct choice at the tactical level of the stroke will give us, apart from an order, a naturalness when hitting that, in consequence, results in committing fewer mistakes and making things more difficult for the opponent.

How many times did you ask if the ball that you did the volley was well directed or not?

How many times did you argue with your partner about a way that was wrong chosen according to your criteria but not of your partner´s?

In this post, I will try you take those doubts away and, together with your partner, you both know where to throw the ball and why.

Before I start, I will make it clear that this explanation is made without a defined strategy, in other words, having the freedom to play on either side.

To begin with, we must understand that when you hit a ball, many thoughts address that situation:

• Where do I throw it?
• What shot do I use?
• Where is my opponent?
• Where is my partner?
• What did my partner say to me?
• The score.
• My mood in that moment.
• The previous strategy I must follow.

Is it clear that they are many, are not? Therefore, we must make it clear two things:

1. Hit is very difficult, as we have already seen, so, we will try to focus on the tactical convenience of the play.
2. My partner, who is seeing the play from outside, will have A DIFFERENT OPINION, most of the time.

For these two reasons, we must work together to make it clear and, as far as possible, and in uncomfortable or complicated situations, we must fulfill this requirement.

Let´s start dividing the volley from the right:

• Volley away from the body from the right.

• Volley close to the body from the right.

• Naturalness in the volley

If we play as a team and we respect, where possible, this theory, we will cover the court in a better way and we will leave less space to our opponents. Thus, we can reduce mistakes and, above all, play better positioned.

I hope clarify doubts about this shot and that you practice it.

Comment, share and train.

Greetings and to the next post.
