Hi Matias,

Yes when you are learning anything, the ability of the strokes changes a lot during that time.  As you become more confident with it your consistency also improves.  It is a matter of time on the table and hitting the ball more to make sure your body really remembers what it has to do.  The top players still practice their basic shots to make sure they are still feeling right.

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.
