Hi Alois,

I see lot of discussions here on footwork but am not able to understand why it is required cus I have seen many players in my colony not using efficient footwork but can play very good.

Hi Chandrachur,

Not having footwork can get you to a certain level but if you want to reach higher levels then footwork is very important.

By having good footwork you can play more effective shots off each ball that comes.  This has to enable you to play better.

Make sure you pay attention to your backhand and develop it so that you opponent cannot get a soft ball by simply playing to your backhand.

Alois is right. It could get you to a intermediate level (states?) but never international standards
