Forehand Volley - Wrist Reflex Angle
As I have stated before, your first movement when hitting a forehand volley should be a pivot move from your split step while maintaining body balance.
I want to talk about the degree of reflex angle position that the wrist should be close to when opening the face or tip of the racquet when pivoting for the forehand volley.
I am estimating that the wrist angle in the ready position is close to 190 degrees reflex angle to the forearm. This wrist angle is maintained during the pivot.
An additional wrist reflex of 10 degrees to approximately 200 degrees with a radial movement of the wrist during the body pivot preparation is desirable for the correct position of the racquet face.
This of course assumes one has a universal continental grip. vsp
