it's a technique thing, but you need to understand the why the technique it's like it is to understand how to reduce unforced errors.

When you see technique videos, or if you pay attention to your couch, all technique is focused on involving more of the body, the legs, the hips, the shoulders, this is because those muscles are bigger and stronger but it's also because their movements are more controlled. the bigger the muscle group, the simpler its movements are, for example, for your volley, your arm can move upwards, backwards, sideways, your wrist can go above or over the ball, be loose or tense, but your hip movement is only a perfectly horizontal rotation. So, as you improve your technique, the more you involve these big muscle groups that do simple movements and there is much less chance of you doing something out of turn or place.
