I have a double knee replacement and cannot move quickly.  When playing doubles where should I move after hitting the ball?

Hi Al,

I would just take one step back or one step to the side depending on which side you are on.  The main thing is to not step too far away from the middle of the table so that you can get back as quickly as possible.
