The basic footwork of table tennis is divided into three types: parallel step, cross step and stride.
Parallel is a fast method of sideways movement that is often used for side-to-side movements, such as forehand and backhand attacks. The characteristic of parallel steps is that both feet slide forward at the same time, one step in place, the range of action is small, and the speed is fast. When practicing Xi, pay attention to maintaining your body balance and avoid shaking your body.
Crossstepping is a quick method of moving sideways or backwards, often used to move side-to-side or backward. The cross-step is characterized by a double ** substitution sliding forward, one step in place, a large range of action, and fast speed. When practicing Xi, pay attention to maintaining your body balance and avoid shaking your body.
Stride is a quick method of moving forward, often used to sprint forward or jump to attack. Stride is characterized by striding forward with one foot, one step in place, a large range of movements, and a fast speed. When Xi, pay attention to maintaining body balance and avoid leaning the body.
The above are the three types of basic steps in table tennis, and each step has its own characteristics and use scenarios. When Xi, you should pay attention to the accuracy of the movements and the mastery of speed to achieve the best movement effect. At the same time, it is also necessary to flexibly use different paces to move and attack according to the actual game situation.
