Movement range

Strokes

Greetings Team,

I would like to ask how can I extend my total movement range.
Sometimes I feel like professional or even simply stronger players can cover much greater space than me from a single spot without having to actually having to move to the ball. Despite that some of them are actually shorter than me.

Thank you
Dan

Hi Dan,

A lot of it is to do with leg strength and power I think.  I don't know how well you move but that is the difference I see between players.

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.

ALso,seems like there was some misunderstanding.
I was talking about the sheer space which is occuppied by the player's swings during performing a stroke.
Sometimes I feel like the player is capable of covering both corners from a single position,whereas I need four shuffles to do the same.

Hi Dan,

The width of your stance is often a key factor there. Try widening your stance and see if that gives you better coverage.
