Volley Footwork for Power and Control!

[@ili1l1iil715]

The one of the lowest video resolution, the one of the best contents ever. Brilliant lesson. "Don't swing, don't swing but you will eventually swing if you don't use your leg."

Jeremy - can't thank you enough for your coaching and videos...you definitely have a gift of explaining concepts and teaching people about this game. I've learned a ton from your videos - things that I haven't really heard others explain so eloquently. I've went from being timid on the court to actually hitting aces and winners against people who've been playing decades longer then me. A lot has to do with this channel. I've watched and rewatched some of your videos at least a dozen times and I still keep them saved for reference - particularly the series about the Fundamentals, which are CLASSIC. THANKS AGAIN! BIG FAN

[@FundamentalTennis]

deemahdee very happy to hear that. Thanks so much for the support!

Some of the best tennis instruction out there

[@peterschmidt6408]

Wow, this is rare. You're absolutely right! Most Coaches don't realize this or sometimes don't get it at all. Keep on goin' :)

[@ostadkourosh1]

cant say enough about jeremy! he is fantastic ! very clear very concise very technical! my favorate tennis coach! bravo!!!

[@spinshotcanada842]

Geremy, you are what a real teacher should be, passionate, knowledgeable, and up to date. I give you 5 stars 🌟, because you deserve it. From Canada, Quebec, bravo. My wife and I love you. 😘

[@olinfox2024]

A great tip. It integrates the entire volley motion. It provides the missing piece that other videos leave out.

[@FundamentalTennis]

Olin Fox thanks for watching!

[@enrimaritain2641]

Thanks Jeremy, I see many videos of tennis tutorial but this for the volley is the best. Thx a lot. Enrico from Genoa.

[@alexdaudsyah4981]

Amazing simple instructions as always Jeremy! A paradigm shift from the classic way volley footworks are taught. Lead right load step then left (for righties). Looking forward to the load step for backhand volleys in future videos.

[@FundamentalTennis]

Alex Daudsyah thanks Alex

[@belindabarone4599]

Jeremy, so interesting and even I can understand your instructions with clarity; It really makes sense.

[@oli702]

Excellent stuff, thanks!

[@kissmyab]

So far, u hv the best instructional tennis video I've ever seen. Keep up the good work 👍👍👍

[@enriqueaguilar7674]

Jeremy. Thanks for this lesson, with it I have added another part to my Tai Chi Tennis and a lot of my errors in the volleys are now DISIPATED. Sorry for the joke and thanks a lot. Your videos are technicals, easy to understand and very useful.

[@Silverhands]

Great video

[@FundamentalTennis]

Nick Uplands thx!

[@JohnCarrizosatennis]

Nice video Jeremy! I’ve been preaching these concepts for over 30 years and still see a majority of coaches using these ridiculous, counterproductive methods🙄...Loved the word bloopers too 😁

[@brentherrick9466]

We always taught weight shift and then step depending on how much distance you had to cover for the volley. This method you are teaching conforms to that concept as well from my view. It's a nice video, though wait until you're sixty and you'll get a full understanding of dissipated especially in relation to your tennis game. I say this from experience though you may prove the exception. Please keep up the great effort on sharing tennis.

[@FundamentalTennis]

Brent Herrick thanks for sharing and thanks for watching 🙏

[@bulentalkan4686]

Thanks

[@joernmatthias128]

Hi Jeremy, On a forehand volley, while stepping out, it is also necessary to turn your hips and shoulders a little bit (45 degrees). Just stepping out with your belly facing the net is not enough. In your video, you also turn your hips and shoulders while stepping out. It is just not mentioned-that's all. Nice one with this tricky word "dissipation". It shows that you are human, which I think is fantastic and speaks for you. Keep up the good work! Greetings from Germany, Joern (Jörn)

[@FundamentalTennis]

joern matthias hi Joern, good point about the turn. I didn’t mention it because this video was only about the lower body. Thank you.

[@LoveSetMatchTennis]

thanks for your great tips!

[@FundamentalTennis]

LoveSetMatch Tennis my pleasure!

[@jeffhermida4788]

I was taught to make contact with ball with the step. Been doing that for years. Now its taking me forever to fix it. Hopefully i get it sooner

[@vincentvu93]

Thanks billion from Vietnam, your video worth 1million US

[@FundamentalTennis]

Vincent Vu thank you for watching!

alessandro signorini yes and thanks for watching. Here is a link Www.fundamentaltennis.org/offer

[@alessandrosig]

Thanks i 'd love to order , the price nowdays la almost doubled since the launch of the series,i ' m still Think about it

[@henryw7982]

Jeremy - any advice on timing the outstep and when you want to make contact with the ball instead of reaching? How would you "move" to the incoming ball, align, adjust and then "time" your two step foot work?

[@FundamentalTennis]

Henry Wong hi Henry, u wanna take the out step or load step very quickly after reading which side of your body the ball is coming towards. The outstep should often happen during the unit turn/preparation. Depending on the incoming balls speed and height etc. there can be a step or 2 prior. I’m not sure what u mean in regards to the timing of contact. If you give me a more clear question I’ll be happy to answer.

[@henryw7982]

@@FundamentalTennis Hey Jeremy, what I am referring to is I guess on the slower paced balls if you already recognize it's volley side. But if you don't continue moving forward, the ball will drop so when would you do the two step. As for timing the contact, again with the slower balls, you may not be able to get to it on the upward trajectory but I find myself not knowing how to "time" my volleys - either on the upward, apex or as it's coming down (mainly the slower paced ones)

[@henryw7982]

@@FundamentalTennis As for the alignment - when you take the out step, relative to you the player is it 45 degrees? Then after you take the outstep, where does the 2nd step go? (I mean in reference to you the player again)

[@FundamentalTennis]

Henry Wong take the ball as high as u comfortably can so u can hit down on it as much as possible. U wanna take the 2nd step towards where your aiming if possible

[@anacap007]

Another way to think about it is the ball will react better when the racquet has 100+ lbs of weight behind it moving forward than without it.

[@장우혁S]

Wow..contact before landing foot. Why didn't my coaches teach me on this?

[@mcgfr]

I think the first step is split step.?

[@DavidColman14]

Hey Jeremy, I’ve never received the free serve training series and every time I click on your link for the series it says I will be sent the first video on December 10 which I never received. So could you reset it for me so that I can receive the free serve training video series.

[@FundamentalTennis]

David Colman hi David, let me know if this link helps: Http://www.fundamentaltennis.org/servetraining

[@lukkurnicki]

I have the same problem.

[@FairwayJack]

like

[@ProfessorBoooty]

Same technique as walking step

[@FundamentalTennis]

ProfessorBoooty not quite. It’s similar in a couple ways to the load and transfer groundstroke which is by far the most common footwork on high level return of serves as well.
