How To Hit A Volley Off Of A Low Shot In Pickleball

When the ball is hit to you lower, you can still do a swing, or topspin, volley. If you have enough topspin, you can actually catch the ball a little bit below the net. But when the ball is lower, you can’t hit it quite as hard. Instead, you’re going to roll the ball up and try to get it deep. 

So when your opponent is back and you’ve got the volley, you want to hit the ball nice and deep with some topspin, having it diving down at the baseline. This is going to make it harder for your opponent to move forward. You want to control the net and keep them back.
