Foot Stamping
General
Zhanzhan He Asked 15 years ago
I noticed that many high level players (and a few in local competitions) land quite forcefully following a loop or even a serve, generating a loud stamp. My natural weight transfer during and after serving / looping would never come close to such an impact. Is this due to a problem with the weight transfer in my stokes, and if so how could i go about trying to improve this?
Thanks
Tom

Hi Tom,
You have no problem with your weight transfer if you aren't making that loud sound. In fact you don't need to be stamping during your strokes. It may even mean that there is too much tension in your body. A well balanced stance is best.
Sometimes on a serve a player will stamp their foot as part of their action. It was used previously as a way of hiding the sound of the bat on the ball during a serve.

If you are in a defensive position and need to move quickly into the table or away from the table, what is the best foot movement to make to get to the ball quickly and be ready for the next shot?
