Try not to be scared of getting hit. Yer it will hurt for a min, but stay in line early and watch it sale to the boundary...

Best way to learn as it sounds like it's not a natural shot is get someone to bounce you with a tennis ball at you in nets and practice the shot till it feels more natural

All I got in the nets last night was short balls! Literally no half-volleys.... I could do with a bit of work on it. Stay side on and get back and across
