You're right. It's a lovely shot. I saw Tim hitting with Kyle Edmund a month ago at the National Tennis Centre. He still plays really well and volleys beautifully. Tim was the last truly great volleyer and no one these days comes even close.

That's a great clip you put together, John.

Tim Henman Backhand Volley

This is about as close to technically perfect as there is. Compact, efficient, gorgeous.

Watch the shoulder turns, the use of the left arm. And especially the "U" hitting arm shape. Watch Tim set it up and they move it as a unit from the front shoulder.

These are the basic elements every player should develop! For more on the Ultimate Fundamentals on the backhand volley so beautifully demonstrated by Henman, Click Here!
