Footwork for a short ball

What specific footwork do you suggest to come in and out for a short forehand or backhand push so that you can be ready for another push, return a topspin shot coming your way or hit a topspin against backspin if there is the opportunity? I've seen several different possibilities when watching the pros on youtube.  Maybe a video?

Thanks

Hi Bennett,

The main thing is to move your right foot in and out fast.  You need to only really move your right foot and just use your left for balance.  Then push off this foot to get back to the ready position again.  From there you can go back in for another short ball or be ready to play an attacking stroke as well.
