lunge for deep balls

Paul Johnson Asked 13 years ago

I have some pretty decent footwork except for the lunge. At what level should I work on that skill? What are good ways to practice it, on and off the table?

Hi Paul,

In the ideal world you don't want to be lunging at the ball. In the extreme case when you are out of position you can lunge at the ball.

Training the lunge action is a good way of strengthening your legs for general footwork movements because you are moving your legs in the full motion.
