Doc's Tip of the Evening -- Volley

One of the first and most important aspects of learning to volley is how to hold the racquet in your hand. You must let the grip of the racquet lay in the palm of your hand. Your grip should be close to a continental. It does not need to be a strict continental grip, but make sure it is not closer to an eastern grip. So when you hold the racquet with the proper grip it is laying in the palm of your hand. And when you do squeeze the grip to volley, you do not want to have a 'death grip' where you squeeze too hard.
You want to be able to feel the top or tip of the racquet when you grip it. kd
