This video reviews when you should block your volleys versus when you should swing and hit hard topspin volleys. When the ball is coming hard at you, you want to make very small movements with your paddle. You want your paddle out in front of you blocking those shots back. But when the ball is hit to you a little bit softer and a little bit higher, then you can swing and hit those hard.
When the ball is up in the air, you can practice topspin, or swinging, volleys. For this swing, you want to turn your shoulders, catch that ball out in front of you, and essentially do a big windshield wiper motion as you swing to hit the ball. The lower the ball is, the softer you should hit it, but with more spin. Putting a lot of spin on the ball will help dive that ball down.
