Tennis Footwork: Cross Over Steps And Shuffle Steps

[@aezazi]

Florian, just to be clear, when using cross steps, your feet should be pointed towards the net correct?

Hi Florian,I see that these shuffle steps are more used in the backhand. On the side of the forehand I see that players use their cross step a lot. Why is that?

[@juanlanzalot8969]

What I see is that we tend to cover our backhand and most of the time were place not in the middle of the court but a bit to the left, so we can invert (I don't know how to say it in English ) and hit a forehand

I’ve never seen a pro use a shuffle on FH. I had that problem, Once I started just crossing over, I got much better shoulder tournament forhands almost instantly became better

I've been playing tennis for almost an entire month and was never taught this..

That's because beginners need to focus on shot production first. Footwork is more advanced.

Footwork should be taught from the very beginning...it makes everything smoother and more efficient!
