| | REVOLUTIONARY TENNIS footwork |
 | | As a teacher and player I feel there is more power when stepping into the ball with the front foot, that is with the left foot on the right side, and the right foot on the left side, than by choosing an open stance. |
 | | Perhaps the confusion lies in the fact that it is the last 2 steps (of this 4 step model) that adjust their stride as needed, and the last one is completely on its own depending on the efficiency of your movement angle into the ball. |
 | | It's common to start forward but veer off to the side and lose the advantage of moving into the ball; it's common that step number #3 becomes a short stutter step instead of a full one, leaving step number #4 to make up distance it shouldn't have to, and you reach, losing balance and structure. |
