From serve to ready position

Footwork

I find, I really must concentrate to go from a completion of service to a ready position.  The regripping of the bat and rotating of my body needs to become second nature.  I have worked out my own drills but are there videos, I can not seem to find, in the lessons that would be better drill?  I feel this is a key fundamental that us amateurs need to develop.

Thanks

Hi Bill,

You are right, this is a really important part of the game, not only for amateurs but also for the better players.  The speed between serving and the basic position will be a big factor in how well you can play the rally.

This is a previous ask the coach question with a video that may help you.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…

Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:

✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies

Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
