theres no need to have a high attribute in volley if you risk, but if youre a non risker, a high volley is one of the most influent rates in the game...

Nothing really. i use it when i'm desperate. But its not very hard to pull off and if you have a clue what your doing at the net ALWAYS wins the point.

I keep hearing people say that they can volley with crappy stats like 40 or 50 in volley, but I have yet to see anybody besides emate and Rob actually hit a volley. IMO, maybe you think you volley well with 40 or 50, but you have to be playing somebody who's not very good, who doesn't try risk passing shots, who is very predictable, and you probably need to hit an approach shot that all but wins the point, anyways.

I also haven't really seen anyone properly serve and volley. I've basically only seen people hit slices from mid-court. :roll:

Yeah...... It feels like people at least TRY to come in against me after they see me having so much fun at the net, but most are 'teh suck' at volleying with 40 and win (or lose) the point with a brick volley because I'm sitting in the stands when they hit it.

One exception - Zizou hits GREAT volleys with 40. If I could do that every time, I'd put 90 on every important stat like he does.

I like serve, approach & volley. If only the A serve motion wouldn't be different when holding RB, I would serve&volley more properly. I miss the LT+RT serve too much when holding RB. And I have 40 on volley btw.

if you use the stick, i think motion A is the best for serve and volleying. you seem to carry a lot of forward momentum with it.

i play differently depending on what character i use. i served and volleyed with my stepanek, i play defensive with my hewitt and i attack and tape the triggers with Del Potro :lol:
