Sir ,

My understanding is

(1) keep weight on your toes instead of heels for quick sideways movement

Is that correct?

Should i keep my back bent during the game , won't it put stress?

Should i bend my knees too while receiving serve?

thanks.

Hi Sumeet,

Take a look at our tutorial on the Basic Stance.  This is the position that you want to adopt when playing and also when receiving serve.
