Hi Sanat,

It is better to use a little bit of topspin on this ball.  It looks like an easy ball but I see a lot of players making mistakes with this one.  The backspin will still drag the ball into the net if you don't account for it.

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.
