The volley starts off being the simplest stroke in tennis because you don't have to do any work. Just hold the racquet firmly with the head pointing upwards and the ball will rebound back over the net.

There are all kinds of volleys: punch, drop, angled, drive, jump & evade...but with all this variety there are some don'ts that every tennis player should avoid.

Another "don't" is to fly with the left hand. Many players raise the left hand for balance but then the volley has no pace.
