Here in Part 3, we take a look at how to move forward for shorter balls and approach shots. Mastering footwork for short balls will help you get setup behind the ball in the optimal position and on time (before the ball bounces). This will lead to better rhythm, timing, and execution of your groundstrokes. It will also help ensure you can pressure your opponents by taking away time when they hit short.
Here in Part 2 we take a look at how using shuffle steps can help you move more efficiently and precisely when receiving balls that only require you to move a short distance. Mastering shuffle steps (combined with precise adjustment steps) for balls that are only a short distance away will help you get setup behind the ball in the optimal position and on time (before the ball bounces). This will lead to better rhythm, timing, and execution of your groundstrokes.
