Coaching points
- Getting body underneath the ball- so that they could catch the ball in their non-playing hand or hand pointing to the ball
- A "hit volley" would be used for a floating ball. Aggressive steps forward and striking hit volley
>Racquet head goes fast to contact and then freezes on contact. - If the ball was smashed then the player should just push through the racquet using the pace of the ball.
- Creating a small element of backspin on the ball: High to low action of the racquet head creates underspin or slice.
