• The volley can be a very difficult move to learn. Here are some tips:
  • If the whip is hitting you, adjust your wrist angle so it passes by you
  • Move your hand in a slight figure eight motion to help guide the whip
  • It can be helpful to learn the volley using a whip with a longer handle, like a stock whip
