Hi Abdur,

If you move away from the table it will allow the ball to drop lower and into your hitting zone of rthe backhand topspin.  It can be awkward if you are too closer because the ball is too high to make the stroke effectively.

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.

I'm also short for my age. But it's a good thing because it's easier to angle some shots correctly
