The skill of deflecting the ball is different from the skill of driving the ball. These two distinct actions should be kept and applied separately depending on the situation. They should not be mixed into one ball of wax. Otherwise you will have neither in the end. Good volleying is strictly an act of deflection. Like any skill deflection skill can be perfected. A good example of a Masterful use of deflection of the ball - is John McEnroe. His whole game was built around this skill. Even his ground strokes were pure deflections. His net game, which naturally lends itself to deflection, is still unsurpassed.
