Why is it that I often see professional players sort of do an awkward jump, lifting their legs into the air when struggling to hit a backhand?

Hi John,

This sometimes happens when they are caught short for time.  By jumping they are reacting to the pace of the ball.  It is certainly not ideal as the instability will lead to more errors.  It is just a compensation for their lack of time.
