🎾 Tip: racquet in front of the shoulders

Hi ,
Last Sunday, I sent you 6 tips for a better volley.
One of them was about not letting the racquet pass the line of your shoulders as you prepare for the ball.
This is a technical aspect that I consider important for meeting the ball early, which gives you more control.
I want to show you what I mean in this short video:

The volley is a simple and important shot in tennis, yet many players overcomplicate it. I suggest you practice it outside your regular tennis matches or weekly practice sessions with your coach or hitting partner.
And the best way, in my opinion, to practice your strokes is with a ball machine.
My favorite practice partner is the PongBot tennis robot.
This is the most versatile tennis ball machine out there, and I would recommend you check it out.
Here is the link to the PongBot Pace S Pro, the tennis coaching and training tool that I choose and recommend.
They now have a Halloween sale of up to 30% off, plus if you use my code CTT5 you will get an extra discount.
