Okay we're going to cover a relatively new shot in tennis which is called the swinging
volley. So, the traditional volley which we're going to demonstrate is this; just under spin,
rocking the ball.
But in the last ten twenty years, the players have now added a new shot called the swinging
volley, where they take the ball out of the air like we just did but instead of hitting
under spin or a flat shot, they're now ripping top spin on it. So, I'm going to throw the
ball underhanded to Ken and he's just going to hit the ball out of the air demonstrating
the swinging volley. Good, be ready.
Okay, so that's the forehand swinging volley. So in tennis now if you were to have hit a
more traditional volley, the players are so fast, they may run it down. So what happens
is when you get this easy ball; this floater, the players are now hitting big top spin for
a winner. So, it's a great shot to add to your repertoire and it really helps you to
groove your forehand, top spin swing in addition to learning the new stroke.
