Hi Varun,

If you are meaning the short push or chop stroke the feet need to get you closer to the ball.  Often these balls stay close to the  net.  If you are a right hander, you always need to move your right foot forward for both forehand and backhand push strokes.

If you are too far away from the ball it will be difficult to control the stroke.

Let me know if this is what you were asking about.
