This 1897 illustration of man playing tennis shows him hitting a back-hand half volley. Backhand volleys are hit with the dominant hand on the left side of the body if the player right-handed and the right side of the body if the person is left-handed. A half volley is a shot where a player can't get to the ball to hit a volley before it bounces, and he doesn't have enough time to hit a full groundstroke. As a result, he lets the ball bounce and then quickly block or deflect it back to the other side of the court.
