It’s a typical doubles scenario whether you are serve and volleying or just coming in on a short ball and highly frustrating having just successfully played one of the hardest shots in the book, only to have your efforts thwarted by a keen net poaching opponent!

Now you can always open the racquet and play the volley down the line but it is the harder option by changing direction off a cross court ball, plus the fact you are hitting over the highest part of the net.

So how about trying another ‘Antidote Volley’.

  

This is what the top pros’ like Grand Slam Doubles Champion Jamie Murray call this volley that can really make a difference and neutralise the poaching threat.

Enjoy!

Take care
