Then watch us as we go through the journey of breaking down Erikas’ forehand, and transforming it into a weapon that is super-charged by power from the legs. We also spent some time fine tuning Erikas’ volley. Getting the right angle, with your body weight in the right place, is crucial for striking an excellent volley, which is exactly what we focused on in the second half of this session. After an hour, Erikas had doubled the power in his forehand, and possessed much more accurate volleys!
