Interesting set of volley videos

Of course being 6'7" helps. Maybe hockeyscout's girl should watch these.

Looking through these now. This guy is a pretty neat guy! Nice kid. Geoff, it was a day from hell today, and this was nice to see! Perfect timing for us! Thanks.

It's speed/timing thing, like a boxers speed bag, but almost no one can do what Cara does in this time frame, not even men. If she can match it, she will be world class without a doubt, but it takes very keen hand/eye and very strong wrists/forearms. Like I said, she is similar to Sampras, but even he as a child had extremely fast/deadly volleys. It's a dead give away: childhood deadly volleys, in terms of future prospect. The hand eye speed required to hit deadly volleys, and the forceful nature of that shot, cannot be hit by 99.9 % of young children. They are just not fast nor strong enough, except for the rarest of the rare. The boxers speed bag would be a good build up. Let's see if she can match Cara. 100 volleys are close range in under a minute. Have her read my posts about jamming your opponents body.

Can't speak for the advantages of 6'7", but I can verify that being 6'6" also has its advantages

Interesting videos. Thanks for sharing

I don't really like all his videos, and at his height you are never going to be able to body fly into shots, (a disadvantage for tall guys) but it at least shows some points of view in a quick way. At least he's showing a lot of shots that are specialized and shortened. One day I went on a hike in Berkeley on the Strawberry canyon trail. It's a fire truck trail that goes uphill for a few miles in the trees. I decided, to walk the whole trail in a squatted position, to see what it would do for my volleys. The next day I played Kimon Kambor, a local tournament player kid, and I destroyed him with some of the deadliest low volleys I've ever hit. But that took a lot of discipline, and most cannot do that. A lot of people were also staring at me like I was a nut job! Not comfortable. https://www.google.com/search?q=stra...ed=0CAgQ_AUoAw
