Answer for RE: Footwork Challenges

Hey Dan,

We are really good thanks! So actually in the last few years a few of the top players have been shifting to a more square stance or even sometimes having the right leg slightly in front for some shots so I think it is changing recently. I would say it’s not a problem what you said you’re doing as long as of course it doesn’t effect your movement around the court.

The main issue with the elbow shots you mentioned is something I’ve struggled with as well, but what helps for me is when the ball does go there it’s very important to shift your right foot back quickly behind which creates space and also gives you time to turn your body and play from the middle.

If you don’t do that and the right foot stays in front the shots into the elbow will be very difficult and end up weak or being a mistake.

I hope that’s helpful and makes sense:)
