The Backhand Volley

The backhand volley is a defensive and reactive shot, often used to neutralize aggressive approaches. The compact continental grip allows quick transition from forehand to backhand volleys. The key is a short punch with the dominant hand guiding the racquet face, with body shoulder turn providing power rather than arm swing.
