A volley executed with more backswing than is normally recommended, causing the ball to rotate forward after the bounce.

  • Sports de raquette
OBS

Il ne faut pas imprimer un effet de lift à une volée; en la frappant par dessous, de bas en haut, on le fait tourner sur elle-même dans le sens de sa course, ce qui la fait bondir plus haut, donnant une chance à l'adversaire de la reprendre.

CONT

Ainsi au coup droit apparaît assez fréquemment une volée d'approche avec un élan arrière (swing volley) car l'organisation spatio-temporelle (timing) est facilitée par la lenteur de la balle.
