The second step on the forehand volley!
Step two is to slide the racquet hand down the handle and strike more shots to reinforce the feeling of hand and face. The next progression is to the handle with the left hand cradling the throat of the racquet as pictured to the right. The left hand manipulates the racquet and helps in the turn of the shoulders to present the racquet before contact of the ball. The racquet position is adjusted to the height of the ball so as to line up the face of the racquet to the fight of the oncoming ball. The racquet moves forward with the face pointing to the direction of the target and finishing to the middle. The total length of the shot is only 12-15 inches of backswing and never traveling back further than peripheral vision. The transfer of weight is with the left foot and should travel in the direction of intended target.
