Great preparation tip

From Brent Abel and Jeff Jacklich over at "Gold Ball Hunting":

"Don't send your hand and your racquet to do what your feet should be doing."

I'm guilty of this, especially on volleys: I will lean at the waist and lunge rather than taking that extra step or two.

Yeah the little steps help shot production, court positioning, disguise and recovery. 4 things, in one little adjustment!

By "disguise", I assume you mean the better position I'm in, the more options I have on which shot to hit?

AT the net the ball is usually very fast for me to move my feet.

It's usually mostly the leaning of body and hand actions to get to the ball. Yes?
