Pete Sampras change the grip for differents heights volleys for start....

Less talking and more demo would be helpful. Also her ready position was "ready for a backhand volley." Any decent opponent seeing that is going to give you a forehand volley since you're clearly unprepared for that! You should be ready in a neutral position...ready to hit either a forehand or backhand volley

I think if you did detailed research, you'd find that trained players do change their grip slightly. It's these nuances that confuse players. The explanation of the footwork is off as well as the pre-strike position. I see rec players all the time in the position that is promoted here, and the first move is to take the elbow back. This video could be a lot more simple by just discussing how the palm and elbow move for low, mid and high balls that you receive. We've done a disservice to rec players giving them misinformation and confusing content.

Too much talking, not enough examples. As most people are visual learners and not auditory learners you need to show more footage of what the speaker is discussing.
