Backhand

·        When using a two handed backhand make sure both hands are close together on the racquet handle.

·      Keep your arms straight with your hands against your side pocket.

·      Drive the racquet forward using your shoulder joints and the stepping in action of your body.

 

 Volley             

 

·             No backswing,keep the racquet in your line of vision.

·         Do not swing, use a punching motion.

·         Move in to cut off the ball. Don’t let it come to you.

·         Make contact as close to your line of vision as possible.

·         Bend your knees for low volleys. Don’t drop the racquet head
