These footwork tips are what separates beginners from professionals.
1. The Split-Step. Every single time your opponent hits the ball, you split. Small hop, land on both feet, stay on your toes. Beginners stand flat-footed and wonder why they’re always late.
2. Recover after every shot. You hit the ball, you move back to the centre using sidesteps. Don’t turn around or you’ll lose track of the ball and the opponent.
3. Small adjustment steps. When the ball comes to you, don’t take two big steps. Take five small ones. Small steps mean you arrive in balance, big steps mean you arrive in panic.
These 3 habits alone will make you look like a completely different player.
