When you are at the net in a volley position, always assume the next shot that you are going to receive will be a backhand volley. Instead of holding your racket in a typical 50-50% method, (the tip of your racket pointing directly at the net), try holding a 70-30% approach. The 70% favoring the backhand side of the racket. Why?
Once you try this approach to your volleys, you will notice an immediate improvement in your confidence. Just remember after hitting a forehand volley, a backhand volley or an overhead, always assume the next shot will be a backhand volley. Good luck! See you next month.
