nice points. especially like the way you talk about "neutralizing your momentum". one point i would add is using the quads on the dominant leg as the explosive engine of most push-offs. for example from center court in a ready stance, replying to a clear, you need to be low enough so that dominant leg quads are preloaded. common mistake from there is to just pivot. save your pivots for basketball. in one step you are going to turn your body and move backwards, so that your non-dominant foot is going to come at least half a stride back, not just remain in place like in a pivot. in other words, you pivot and jump back in one movement, not two. for many players one more full step will bring them nearly to the back line
I think you could explain the "push off better" better by not including the phrase jump since it isn't always a jump when performing the split step. I think that it could lead to misunderstanding that you actually have to fully jump up with both feet, when the push off is really just a subtle movement to prepare your footwork for the next shot. But hey, I'm not a professional coach or anything so just my two cents.
i dont think it's confusing. there is always a jump when performing split step, which is as you say a subtle movement. when he talks about push-off, he means explosive movement toward the shuttle following the split step
@@rb-ex Yeah, the push off after the jump is well explained, but I am talking about the way he says that you need to jump. I get that there is a small "jump" in this movement, but it could be phrased better to not lead to misunderstandings like actually jumping higher than you need to.
@@rb-ex split step is not jump at all, it is "step", if it would be a jump, people would call it a jump, but you can just for splitting as well, it is just too slow.
Actually i found chasing the ball more fun rather than having set in footwork... and in the end got immune to all the trick shots because i became very fast in reaction... However, just playing for fun.. But facing a taller player with a good footwork.... you might need to find his weakness instead of having good footwork because he'll make you run for it...

Fantastic..... I think I have a few of these. Still learning. Only playing for 5 years and started very late. But I love the game.

So that means you're a casual player

One more most important point is not using your non racket leg, it destroys your footwork
