#1 Split Step

Why Split Step?

• Well, it overcomes the static flat footed stance you have as the ball is about to be hit.
• You'll move quickly toward the ball and have time for a stronger return

Ok, so now practice and don't just stand there but Split_Step.

#2 Bend Those Knees!!!!!

Why Bend The Knees?

• You'll get under the ball which makes for better clearance over the net
• You'll straighten the knees during the stroke which pushes you forward and accelerates the racquet. This adds more power and spin to the ball.
