Defending your contact point.
This is a will power exercise.
The contact point for your groundies and volleys is the same distance in front of you, regardless of height, pace, spin or speed of the incoming ball. The next time you go out and practice, focus on maintaining a relaxed upper body, tensed lower body, relaxed arms and chest, and breathing, and wait for the ball to arrive at that exact point, within millimeters. Then as you succeed, your control will go through the roof, and your confidence will rise, as if you can place the ball anywhere with any type of pace/spin/depth. Those hitting with you will feel the power and control increase in your shots as well.
