I believe it is nonetheless referred to as a cut up step whether or not there’s a bounce or not.
Some folks use the phrase “cut up drop” when it is simply the dropping. And “cut up bounce” when it features a bounce. However each are cut up steps. The drop is the core side of the cut up step.
it is attention-grabbing that you just say that..
(placing apart “pounce with out altering their ft place” ‘cos I do not know what meaning)..
And are you referring to a step with racket foot, or step with non racket foot or each..
Wanting
at 0:04 and 0:52 The previous involving a step with racket foot and the latter involving a step with non racket foot..
They help what you say concerning the cut up step..
Their again knee is bending..
(slight correction, I believe at 0:04 he is shifting extra like maybe a sprinter off a block would, again leg already bent.. and not likely bending it extra, or if bending it extra then virtually imperceptibly extra. At 0:52 there’s substantial bending of again knee)
After I returned serve I had my entrance foot possibly 6″ from the service line in prepared place. .
I at one time obtained my returns to low serves to an excellent degree, to a degree the place 3 former county gamers thought they had been good, And one was a participant at a kind of senior tournaments that stated he’d be proud of that himself! Gamers at my degree did not need to low serve me. (to not say they had been eager to flick me!)
If I attempt to think about myself doing it now.. I’m not positive if I’m/was doing a cut up step. Assuming they have not served a large one, my model was to step with non-racket foot(entrance foot) slightly than racket foot(again foot). I am pushing off the again foot,, lifting the entrance foot maginally, and taking a step with the entrance foot. I do not really feel like i am dropping in any respect earlier than doing so.. I really feel like i am dropping a bit maybe as I step. (although that would not be a spilt step). If I had been to drop earlier than the step then that’d be a cut up step although i am unsure that I’m.. The muscle tissue are already loaded from weight leaning forwards.. I do not know if there is a cut up step there,
A distinction between my one and his one, and I believe this can be a factor that if i did it could make mine higher. Is I believe my again foot was extra sideways on. So if I used to be to drop my again knee it won’t assist as a lot. Whereas his again foot appears extra pointed forwards. If i would return served with my again foot pointed extra forwards like him then maybe my return serve would’ve been improved. .
I do not forget that for returning flick serves I had an instinctive inclination to separate step.. (I did as soon as hear that one should not . from a participant of their 50s that hadn’t skilled cut up steps, however I had my doubts, and also you saying I ought to appears believable to me). I am going to have a look at some footage for flick serves.. .
What’s and is not a directional cut up step is a humorous one..
Typically the foot place being entrance again , and even touchdown one foot earlier than the opposite, is not a part of a directional cut up step.. it is simply a part of the footwork..
Othertimes it’s a directional cut up step as a result of it is not a part of the footwork it is carried out in anticipation..
For instance of 1 which (so far as I recall from what I understood from once I regarded into it an extended whereas again)..
Lin Dan vs Viktor Axelsen | Shuttle Superb
Shuttle Superb
See rally beginning at 0:51
There’s two lifts, from Axelson. to LD’s FH aspect. One at 1:24, one at 1:26
Every time, LD performs a drop, Lin Dan steps with non-racket foot, and from that non-racket foot, he lands a cut up step, again foot then entrance foot and with ft very front-back. However from what I recall of what I understood when trying into it, it is not a directional cut up step it is simply the footwork getting again to the centre and able to go forwards doubtlessly.
I did not practice directional cut up steps however I did enquire about them and from what I recall, it is when the load biases a technique, primarily based on anticipation that the opponent will possible hit it into a selected spot, and there may also be a ft positioning that biases that method too. (But when it is simply ft positioning which might be positioned the best way they’re as a part of the footwork, or touchdown one foot then the opposite, as a part of the footwork, and to not bias that they are going to possible hit it into a selected spot, then that would not be a directional cut up step).
