Footwork Technique

Susan K. Asked 13 years ago

Hi. I'm a beginner at table tennis. My question is about footwork techniques. I am familiar with the "one-step" technique that is used most often. However, my coach also taught me a different one. His technique involves keeping one foot grounded for balance, while you move your other foot to reach to the ball and make your shot. Is this as effective as the "one-step" technique?

Hi Susan,

This sounds the same as the one step footwork.  It is a technique that is used when you don't have enough time to move both feet and get properly balanced with both feet.
