Speaker:So today we're talking about the mysterious non-volley zone
Speaker:or sometimes it's referred to as the kitchen.
Speaker:Wow, what do you think?
Speaker:You can't go into volley, you can't fall in it after volleying,
Speaker:but you can go in if the ball bounces.
Speaker:It's a mystery.
Speaker:So how do you master that?
Speaker:Have good balance?
Speaker:Be about a step back from the kitchen line
Speaker:or the non-valley line.
Speaker:This way you have better balance
