Strokes

Hi, coaches!

When I watch your videos, I see that you do strokes very easy and flexible. 

Do you use power and speed of opponent's shots?

Hi Ardak,

By being relaxed you can actually generate more speed and power because your muscles are allowed to relax and work in the correct way.  When you try harder you often develop tension in your muscles and they fight against each other rather than working together.

Crossover Footwork

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
