Hi Pingskills, I'm wondering how and when you should move into ready position after you've made a pendulum serve, wide from the backhand corner with your left leg in front of you (being a righthander) Should you move into position when you know where your opponent will place the return or as soon as you've made the serve? And how should you practise the footwork?

Hi Robin,
As part of the serve move into a more central position after hitting the ball, but you also need to track the ball to see where the ball is coming.
Your movement will also depend on the type and direction of serve that you do.
To practice it you can do the movement while practicing your serves even if there is no one returning them for you.
