Tennis

i was wondering if there's anything to help my volleying and overheads

my volleys are ok, but im not so good at placing them
my overheads are a different story. im 6'4, but i always miss my overheads...always swing too early, and end up missing, then turning around quickly and hitting the ball...it's really annoying and i was wondering if there is anything to make these 2 better

i play doubles 1 on my jv team, so these two are very important to me

I've played two games, now. I can still barely serve and I have trouble adjusting to incoming shots to return them as well. Any hints on how to improve quickly or practice?

In tournaments with qualifying rounds, how is the lucky loser determined? Is there a set procedure, or is it simply pure chance?

i have lots of power and i can basically hit consistantly but i never hit angled shots. if i do then i'll hit it wide all the time. how can i stop doing that? i'll probably win alot more matches if i can mix angled shots with power.

She is in JV but she'll be entering Varisty next year and still uses her old racket. I'm looking for something nice looking with great performance but that will leave me some money in the bank account.

I saw Head Airflow but they're a little bit pricey.....

Not looking for a juniors racket either.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I forgot to specifically mention this in my previous question....One of the areas I want to focus on excelling in first is my serve. Bare in mind, I am only going to play my first real game tomorrow since the courts here have been covered in snow. (We finished shoveling them off today, which mind you was a LOT of work.)

I've been practicing, but I have no idea if what I am doing is correct. I'll try to explain what I've been doing:

I start with my feet sideways, toss the ball up in front of me. I allow it to roll off my fingers and spin towards my target. I dip below it and bring my racket around and arc it up behind me, trying to whip the ball by using my wrist. All I have really been able to do so far is smack it like that, and I'm not very accurate...

I know that's probably not correct at all, since I just started DOING it because it felt natural.

So, what can I do to make my serve like a precisely guided SCUD missle and strike fear into my opponent? = P Haha.

This is a player on a high school team. He obviously makes call to benefit himself, especially when the points are close.

For my serves, my private coach wants me to toss my ball above my head for topsin. Plus he says that I need to keep my feet at a side form, like the professionals. My coach at school says that I need to put my left foot pointing towards the front. He also mentioned that my toss just needs to be barely in front of me. Then, my private coach wants me to put topsin in my forehand, but my coach at school wants me to put little topsin. So who do I listen to? Please give me some good advice that will be really helpful.
