Hi Abhinav,

The most important thing is to get eh swing correct. Then keep practicing it over and over.  With a lot of time, it will start to feel more natural, you will relax more and the stroke will become more fluent.  Time and practice are the keys.

For movement, this is the same.  Think about moving sideways with a jumping with both legs.  Take a look at our lesson on the Footwork Basics which will help.
