Break Bad Volley Habits that STOP Improvement (with Demos and Drills)

[@iagreewithyou112]

I disagree with comments saying you should make the videos shorter. Lots of good information would be lost. These videos are basically like free lessons, people should be happy.

[@bugbustermum]

I am truly blown away by your coaching! So many concepts that are explained so brilliantly. I loved the volley and back hand slice lessons, and how I wish we had met long ago. I had so much frustration trying to learn from various coaches. All big fails. Until now. Great going Steve, I am now your big fan. Thank you very much

[@15PointsOfTennis]

Thanks for watching... takes just a little bit to get the strength for these movements and knowing when to not overdo it. Glad it helped.

[@lankhmarowner8105]

This video is absolutely *brilliant* and contains correct tips I haven't seen elsewhere. Others try to oversimplify to the point where it starts to lose validity for even intermediate players, whereas this video explains how it really is. Thanks Coach Steven!

[@vijaynarsapur147]

The best instruction on the volley on the internet barring none...

[@sameertalcherkar3988]

You are providing alot of value in these videos, so thank you! I love how your techniques apply to all strokes like pop n lock. And now wall to the ball.

[@davidroethler4143]

I find your biomechanical analysis of volleys more insightful AND EFFECTIVE than any I've encountered. I've watched six different approaches to building solid volleying technique but I've found yours to e the one that helped me break through. To some degree I'm certain it's an accumulation of techniques I've gleaned from the previous instructors, but this is the series that has been spectacularly productive. Other than the overhead I've always found volleying to be the most challenging shot to master. Thanks Steven

[@15PointsOfTennis]

Glad that helped David!

[@RSH137]

I got done and said Wow, another amazing video. So many good points, matched with demonstrations and drills. Love it. Those Attention Deficit Disorder guys need to just watch six minutes and take a break; it is called the pause button. I love the detail.

[@jaychon8418]

I really like the wall concept as a mental framework for volleying. thanks

[@colinsmith2255]

You are one of the best technical coaches I've seen. (nearly 60, so seen a few). How did you acquire your tennis knowledge? Did you have a coaching mentor, or teach yourself? Well done, looking forward to more quality instructions in 2020. Thanks Steven.

[@p_a_o_7658]

Colin Smith I totally agree with you. I ve tried many things he taught, most of them really work! This is so much different from other coaches online, teaching similar things which sound good but not very practical.

[@JJVee427]

I see so many tennis channels, videos daily in multiple languages...and granted some of the best online don't have their premium content on KZbin for various reasons but I have to say, as far as knowledge and explaining concepts is concerned, you sir come out probably top 3 if not the best on KZbin along with Racquetflex, Top Tennis Training, and Intuitive Tennis. Good job and thank you.

[@at1838]

Beautiful! Thanks you!

[@md1021]

The technical information given is very useful. It’s the little techniques that need improvement in order to make tennis less frustrating to play at 4.0-4.5 level.

[@arunjetli7909]

Great thought on posture .thanks

[@aniruddhashahasane4494]

Great instructions, Thank you!

[@OldRacket]

Great points about not dropping your head while volleying. It was actually a baseball hitting coach who pointed out to me that I was doing this. They emphasize keeping the eyes on a level plane to be able to contact the baseball. Hitters are taught to take a smaller stride into the ball now because a big stride drops the height of the head and eyes.

[@silasimplisment]

Your didactic is really amazing! Congrats and keep working! Your classes are making my quarentene a lot better!!

[@tennisslicer]

I knew and played tennis when I was 10 but life got in the way so I quit for long time. Now I can play again but lost those old school techniques and hurt my tennis elbow so bad after play for a year .But your knowledge help me got them back without hurting myself, now I can play better... thx a lot!!!

[@oliverquast7036]

Wonderful lesson!!!!!

[@christophejousse5394]

just passing by and waow, i surely will see the other vids. thanks a lot

[@chinaski5]

Very interesting perspective. Makes a lot of sense but way different from what I have been told (which has left me still struggling).

[@hieuhuynh3654]

Thank you, I love it your technic

[@arunjetli7909]

Very very good for the last twenty years I have taught almost identical to this with the exception I discourage the step in volley

[@juju-rt8ek]

Great Video!

[@alexisperez4100]

Excellent video. I have been watching volley videos online for 6 months and this is the best one. You did not cover the overhead technique though.

[@TheGeohart]

excellent drills

[@ArjunGovind]

Coach Steven, why are not making new videos anymore? :(.

[@AlexanderGr8]

Great stuff. Thanks👍

[@vingardium007]

Awesome, thanks 😊

[@arunjetli7909]

Young man like your videos but have a slightly disagree on the aspect of stepping I progress from stand still volleys I work on set up with the Blackfoot and push into the volley , never step into it . Secondly absoluteley essential is the stability of the non hitting shoulder during contact. Yes there are instances where you step you will notice in this video shows the Blackfoot push on the higher volley

[@arunjetli7909]

I do think that you hav an analytic mind keep this up

[@TennisTrollChannel]

Another good video- thanks!

[@masterjovitogalapin7842]

nice sir,one thumbs up and subscribed,happy new year.

[@ceejay257]

If opponent hit the fast ball to you, do you only use wrist?

[@AmirTennis]

Such a detailed lesson. I loved the all contents but suggest break down to few like first unit turn, second the steps, third posture and so on. It would be hard to kept viewer for over 20 mins in one go. Should not make it shorter for each topic becoz they were really great and helpful to player like me! But rather make it 6 mins video will be easier. Looking forward for next one! Thank you

[@15PointsOfTennis]

At some point there will be a whole series on rotation.. a lot of feet related topics will be covered in my online course

[@吃喝玩樂同學會的謝老]

您教的和我多年練出来的心得一模一樣，借力使力，如同內家拳

[@louismaguina9783]

thank you 😎

[@Yoshi-nj7lq]

nice

[@seanparker571]

you have given so much this video. thank you.

[@ldeue4837]

The problem with knowing how to play tennis, doesn't automatically make you good at teaching. While I'll agree that a lot of the information might be correct. I've never seen a progression drill on this channel...You need to understand the body and more importantly the mind to really thrive in improvement. It's about small steps overloading on information and over thinking can destroy your tennis.

[@osamaleonour2385]

Man great videos all the time but can u make them shorter

[@indyprostringers2051]

Watch for 5 minutes at a time and then the video is shorter. Break his video down to 5, 5 minute videos.

[@sanjaypuri91]

Dude you are a good tennis coach and have good insight but with time your videos are becoming longer, pl don't mix your Hollywood dream with tennis
