We're gonna go over the technical aspects of the forehand volley roll dink. So this is a more advanced shot. Generally. It's a little temperamental. You're actually trying to create topspin with a softer shot. Not a full-out attack and you're reaching forward to cut off a dink that has gone a little bit further. This shot really puts your opponents in awkward positions a lot of times because you're getting the ball to accelerate with topspin and it also disguises your attacks a lot better. I may want to flick the next one as an offensive strike. But by having this second option as a volley rolled dink. I can actually throw them off balance. You really don't want to over stretch yourself on this shot. So you really want to preserve this for dinks that have gone a little bit further. If I stretch too far, I start to lose control and the shot loses its effect. I want to be able to roll up and outwards. So I reach forward. And I'm not flicking. I'm just gently lifting up and out. to get that Top Spin So you start low the lower you can start on this shot the better it's going to be because then I can start to get that upward motion and through the ball. Most people when they hit this shot will hit it in the net a lot. They just grab the ball too much and they may even add a little bit of wrist. I really don't think about using my wrist at all on this shot. I'm more extending out you'll get plenty of Top Spin just by coming up on the ball. You'll come up on this naturally really think more about pushing out and transferring your body weight ever. So slightly you might start more on the outside leg and then rotate more to the inside like This shot is most often used off of backspin so that I can add a little bit more spin to it a word of caution on that the more spin you get when you're hitting this ball across Court, the more endangered is of going a little bit too far as we know the around the post. It's a very common shot at a high level. The Top Spin will put it through the court faster and be more offensive, but you have that danger of maybe hitting a little bit too far. We're in another video. We're gonna talk about specific spots you can hit but just don't overdo the Top Spin at an angle because it will send the ball too far occasionally. So this is also a great option to go for when your opponent hits a backspin dink that goes a little bit deeper. You really want to volley this shot almost every time but by adding the topspin you actually put them in defensive position, when really they had attempted to put you in a defensive position. You turn it back on them. And you also give yourself a chance to attack this ball. I'll hit a few Cross Court forehand rolls here to set it up. Some of these routes will last a long time. This is really a dink. It's a substitute for a wood-bounce. But instead I'm taking it out of the air and I'm creating more offense with the Top Spin and then the last second I can roll over the top and attack it and there you have for the technical aspects of the forehand volley roll dink.
