The net attack is the best offensive strategy of tennis.
It is supposed to crush all defenses. As such it must be regarded as a
point-winning stroke at all times, no matter whether the shot is volley
or smash.

Once at the net hit from the point of the first opportunity given to get the
racquet squarely on the ball. All the laws of footwork explained for
the drive are theoretically the same in volleying. In practice you
seldom have time to change your feet to a set position, so you avoid
trouble by throwing the weight on the foot nearest to the ball and
pushing it in the shot.

Volleys
are of two classes: (1) the low volley, made from below the waist; and
(2) the high volley, from the waist to the head. Other classifications
are the two styles known as (1) the deep volley and (2) the stop
volley. All low volleys are blocked. High volleys may be either blocked
or hit. Volleys should never be stroked. There is no follow through on
a low volley and very little on a high one.

You
will hear much talk of "chop" volleys. A chop stroke is one where the
racquet travels from above the line of flight of the ball, down and
through it, and the angle made behind the racquet is greater than 45
degrees, and approach
90 degrees. Therefore I say that no volleys should be chopped, for the
tendency is to pop the ball up in the air. Slice volleys if you want
to, because these shots are made at a very small angle to the
flight-line of the ball, with the racquet face traveling almost along
its plane.
