Tennis instruction video, the backhand approach-shot tennis footwork:

There are three ways to approach the net with the backhand. On this file you will see how to execute two of them. The first one is called the classical backhand slice approach.

As you will see on the video there is back cross step or carioca step just before and as you make contact with the ball.

This allows the player to pretty much get well under the ball and to use the elastic energy he stored during the cross bend to propell him/her forward toward the net. Since acceleration and velocity are key to the approach, that extra spring will gain you considerable distance and get you closer to the net quicker.

Great attackers such as, Rod Laver, Ken Rosewall, Lew Hoad, Pancho Gonzales

and many others used this technique to perfection.
