I am going to tryto persuade them here that it is easier thanstrokes off the ground. It is really a mat-ter of common sense. The ball may doso many different things after it may get up high, it may keep low, or itmay screw, or shoot or hang or take a for-ward leap. Then the player must calcu-late the best height at which to take theball. The volley has none of these diffi-culties. You simply have to put yourracket in the way of the ball, square to racket and the ball will do the rest. Once get rid of the idea that the volleyis difficult and you have overcome thechief difficulty of the volley. 42 Spaldings At
