In this video, coach Jerry Jaffee explains how to utilize the backhand on a volley and helps players refine their techniques as they practice for the first time.
The backhand is similar to the forehand when volleying. You want to keep your paddle out in front of you, but flip it over to use the other side. You’re going to rotate your upper torso a little bit, keeping the paddle out in front of your eyes, and block it using your shoulder. You want to make sure you keep your arm and wrist firm, allowing your shoulder to do the work.
