Master and Learn one of the most important shots in “The Backhand volleys” and take your padel game to the next level.

Volleys play a big part in padel. A good volley can make the difference between a never-ending rally or a point. The starting position for a volley is close to the net with the racket in front of your body in a vertical position. This makes you able to react quicker for a forehand or backhand volley.

The first step when standing in the read-to-volley position is to prepare the racket by pulling it back and turn your shoulders with it. The racket should go as far as your shoulder can go, after this, you step forward with your left leg (when hitting a forehand) or step forward with right leg (when hitting a backhand) and turn the racket and your shoulder towards the ball. This is to get your body to push in the court and get more power into your volley. You want to hit the ball just in front of the body, this is not a swing but more a strong block. It’s key to keep this technique nice and simple, you want it to be a stable base.
