My Volleys

I've always enjoyed playing at the net, specially being a son of a serve and volleyer.
On my forehand volley, after the split step, as I start the unit turn, I turn my feet and step back with my right foot so I can have space to step across with my left foot just after I've made contact.
On my Backhand Volley, I start the unit turn and bring back the left foot so I can step across with my right foot. On the backswing The racket is positioned parallel to the net and just behind my left ear, just like a slice backhand. Contact is made just before the foot lands, just like on the forehand volley, and that was a bit surprising since I've always thought you should step at the same time of the contact (or maybe we should on some volleys). Of course observing it in high speed is totally different than observing it with the naked eye. On court I would have sad that I stepped at the same time...
