Just witnessed his amazing feathery footwork today in the 1st row in his day match vs Britton

That wasn't anything? Just pictures of a very gifted individual moving. Nothing that is going to help anyone out, if you can't move like that already you're not going to be able to.

how do you know if you are moving like that? Im going to try it out and see if it is any different from what is already there.

That was nice. The piece actually had meaningful graphics. Unlike other analysis graphics which sort of only highlight what you could already see.

I disagree. I actually incorporated the toe and leg straigtening technique Federer uses when I need more topsin on the backhand. That was one of the firs things I noticed about his movement.
