.-Why did I miss thnt volley?" Thh
remark ns made flo Often il-irlng one
rirrnooti of urncllco nt the Oormmitcmn
afternoon 01 pre Acrt(icllly'!t BroUnn-
that the person who
ns coaching nearly
lost his voice ex
plaining nnd roltcrnt
1 n s the following
terse sentence:
"You hit off the
wrong food kid."
Thero was nothing
else to say. Nina
times out of ten vol
leys nre missed be
cause of poor foot
work or Inking the
rye off tho hall. The
relation between
them will he about
even over n long pe
riod of play.
WtT.!.Dn,sa in voucyiiw it
to (jet the feet In tho exact position
wished, onlnB to lack of time, but tho
effect will be the same If tho weight of
the body Is on tho correct foot.
For tho forehand volley: If there Is
tlmo get the loft (or front) foot over nnd
ahead of the right. The weight Is on tho
right foot until tho bnll Is met, nnd then
II shifts toward and onto the left with
the shot. To vollcv cross court meet
the bnll In front of tho body nnd, using
a stiff wrist nnd short swing, chop tho
ball across. This shot should ho mnde
with the left foot way ncrosH tho right,
with the weight coming forward to it.
for tho straight volley tho feet shouM
be nenrly parallel with tho sldo lino nnd
the left foot auvanccn noout jo muii-a.
BACKHAND VOt.hEY.
Kor the backhand volley shot tho samo
rules apply, only substitute right foot for
left Soot ns the ono to ndvnncc Into the
ball. Volley always with your weight
coming Into the ball, not away tro It.
If the return to ou Is so ntllck, or
ipecd so great that there Is not time
to get jour feet In position, have your
weight on the foot nenrest the bnll nnd
coming Into tho lino of Its Might
Sever volley n ball In front of your
body, nlftnys mnko your footwork such
that tho volley will bo mnde nt your
iMe, nnd nbout n foot nnd n half from
yotfr body. If tho ball Is coming di
rectly nt l on, do not ndvanco your front
foot, ns this would bring your 'body Into
the boll's Might, but retrertt yotir'bnck
foot," thus removing your body from tho
line of tho shot, yet nllowlng It to pass
close to you, so ns to volley comfortnbly.
In taking up the question of footwork
and the overhead smash, or kill, It must
, g.tlrl that every man will develop
his-own method of hitting this shot, usu
ally1 based on his service, but there nre
several fundamentals necessary to grasp
fully before the overhend can be made
a winning or Indlvldunl shot.
l'bp not Jupip In the nlr to mako
this shot unless absolutely necessary. It
takes your ejo off tho ball nnd jour
weight oft tho shot.
i JCcep your right foot on tho ground,
with jour full weight on It, mnko your
shot at tho top of your serving, taking
the ball n llttlo In front of your head
and hit with a flat racquet fnce. swing
ing your full weight onto your left foot
Willi, tho shot. If this Is mndo correct
ly your racquet would continue to the
ground nnd land between your feet.
This puts all tho forco nnd weight of
Jfolir body Into tho Bhot. It adds speed
and, direction.
8. Do, not start off your left nnd end on
your right foot, ns this will pull your
Weight out of the shot.
AH short lobs should be hit overhead,
and hit hard, nnd tho only way to hit n
ball consistently Is to have yoiir footwork
correct. Therefore, In summing up tho
two articles on footwork the following Is
found:
Forehand Shots
rjROUNDSTrtOKn or vollev.
Left foot ahead of right, weight travels
from back (or right) foot onto front (or
left) at the moment of meeting ball. To
hit cross court left Is farther ncross or
nearer aide lino than for straight shot
down the line.
Backhand Shots
GROUNDSTnOKi: OR VOLLEV
Right foot nhead of left, weight travels
from back (or left) foot onto front (or
left) at moment of meeting ball. Cross
court shot right foot Is farther across or
nearer side line than for the straight shot
down the line.
OVERHEAD.
Left foot ahead of right and nearly
parallel to sldo lino (or tho line of tho
desired shot); weight travels from Tight
to left always at moment of hitting ball.
Thero are two examples of ns nearly
perfect footwork on a tennis court as one
can find playing around Philadelphia
every ear, and it would be a great thing
for any young player to study their meth
ods. These men are Wallace P. Johnson,
of Merlon, and Stanley Pearson, of CJer
manlown. Johnson, known to all tennis players
as one of the most dangerous men in
America, Is the most striking example of
footwork In Its best form. Johnson's
fame Is the peculiar undercut chop
stroke of fair but not great force, mag
nificently placed and his whole game one
of cleverness and subtlety but Jt Is John
on footwork which makes him tho
treat player ho is. He never hits off tho
wrong foot. You never sea him forced to
volley In front of him. always at the side,
wver hurried in his Bhots nor caught out
I position, except by a perfect return.
Ho can stand mnhy matches that would
try stronger men simply becnuso ho saves
every step:
PEARSON AN EXAMPLE.
Stanley Pearson, city chnmpfon In
double's with I C. Ulster, Is nlno a re
narkdblc example of wonderful footwork.
1'earsoit's game Is a soft,' well placed
heady game, unfortunately It Is too soft
Vet lid can alwnjs dile a good man hard
nnd bents many of them, 'owing to his
wonderful speed nnd ability to mnko re
markable "gets."
A point Is never over with Pearson until
tho ball hus bounced twice, and tho rca
son ho gets tho shots ho docs Is due to
his perfect control of footwork. Ho Is
n natural exponent of footwork on a ten
nis court nnd would servo as a good ex
nmple for anyone to Bludy who wishes to
Improve this department of their gnme,
so essential to rent success.
It took a Pittsburgh boy to win tho
Metropolitan championship this year at
