When being pulled a little wide at the deuce court, and the ball is a little short (the contact point could be near deuce court side line, halfway between service box corner to baseline corner). There are 2 scenarios:
#1. I may hit a forehand approach shot and follow to the net
#2. I may hit a forehand and recover back to baseline.
I saw coaches on youtube talks about 3 footwork patterns:
A) walking step (inside leg cross over, maybe just step forward as hitting) - FYB
B) 1 foot pivot (inside foot kicks up) - Bailey Method
C). Neutral stance (after setting up with open stance, you realize the ball is a little shot/there is enough time, you step into the shot so it becomes neutral stance).
Which footwork is correct or better for #1 and #2 scenarios?
