I’m getting the impression that cross-step is bad. Are there situations where it is preferable to use cross-step?

In reply to John. I have addressed many of your questions in prior posts. If you use the search feature (spyglass at top of home page) you can find information. Search on items like footwork, returning a lob, split step, etc. (BTW: the search function is not always perfect...but it is a good start.)

Thanks so much for covering footwork. Its the one part of my game that I find difficult to master. For instance, what is preferred footwork for returning a deep serve? Should footwork be different if I want to drive the ball deep v. lob return? How about when retreating to get a lob? When approaching ball hit short into my court after my team serves? Seems like different situations call for different foot work. Or do fast/hard rules apply?

In reply to Jim. This advice applies to all pickleball shots.

Is this more for dinking or mid-court shots? Can I still get leverage on ground strokes with this method
