The split step is so incredibly important to your success on the tennis court and yet SO many recreational players completely skip it. If you’re one of those players (be honest!), or if you currently only use a split step once in a while then you’re going to want to pay very close attention to this video and the two others about the split step coming out very soon.

In this video I’ll be defining the purpose of the split step and also using David Ferrer as an example to teach the correct technique of the split step. In video 2 of 3 (coming soon) I’ll be using the pros again to show you precisely how to time your split step correctly, and in video 3 of 3 I’ll be showing you examples of how the pros use the split step during actual competitive points.

So be honest: do you currently use the split step every time your partner/opponent hits a shot? Tell me below after you check out the video. I’m looking forward to hearing from you!
