Hi Dilip,
Balance is key to the volley to allow you to swing smoothly and control the ball. It's important to move towards the ball when you're volleying to stay in control of the shot and transfer power through the ball.
Here is a great drill to get you moving forward and uses volley variations to work on your ability to remain in control and stay balanced. You can find more drills like this under the 'Volley Drills' tab.
