never took enough time to learn this critical aspect of the game, immediately you showed me why I didnt want to do it on every groundy, thought I needed to land on entire foot, which just makes you slower!
Advanced players rise at contact so they can flow split in the direction of the incoming ball, and land the off foot first. Mackenzie MacDonald is a great example of this.
Kyle Williams when your opponent hits the ball you’ll be in the air. Can you really control your body to have a flow split towards the right direction while you are already in the air?
@@ducockk Yes. ua-cam.com/video/tYc-iT_hvyk/v-deo.html Your reading the shot, making that decision early so your landing on the push off foot. Djokovic does this all the time. Serve return is obviously different, must rise early. before contact but the footwork is a bit different...your taking one or two steps max on a return.

Is this video for 4.0 and below because more advanced players are in the air at contact so they can come down perfectly balanced to move in the direction they want? I am over 4.0, and this is how I split step and how I see the pros split step. I was confused upon watching this video.
Elias Duthinh that is correct. The assumption is that the average player above the 4.0 level split steps correctly and that is why we suggested it for the assigned levels. Hope this helps clarify things. Thanks for watching and the question! 😊
Elias Duthinh sorry I’m not quite understanding the question. The pros are split stepping just before the opponent makes contact with the ball. This is what we’re advising all levels do in the instruction.

Hope it helped Jack! Thanks for watching
Very nice video, clarifies the timing which is so important. Also nice to see you guys hit the ball so well, please do that more often.
Simple shot
Took the words out my mouth! I say exactly this to my students haha.
Love it! Thanks for watching Sean.

so right, video is spot on!
Great video guys 👍🏻🎾🎾🎾
Thanks DJ, glad you enjoyed it!
Peter Freeman of Crunch Time Coaching mentions the boxer shuffle as a split step/footwork method. Is that more proper than split step and wide stance?

What is the advantage of teaching novice players incorrect timing? This is clearly not how the pros time their split steps.
