Why do we need to lift our leg up while smashing?

Hi Leon,

You don't have to.  Some players like to do that to get a little higher up to hit the ball.  I think you are better to keep both feet on the ground and get your power going forward.

Crossover Footwork

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
