Tennis Footwork Tip: Master The Split-Step & The Flow Split-Step

The split-step is one of the most important aspects of great movement.
If you don’t split the right way at the right time, then you will constantly be late to the ball!
In today’s new video OTI Instructor Ean Meyer explains the correct technique of the split-step as well as the correct timing of the split-step.
He also shows you how to master what’s called a flow split-step.
The pro’s constantly use the flow split and implementing this into your movement can easily result in a major breakthrough!

    I learned to play back in the 1950s but haven't played since being diagnosed with Parkinson's nearly 20 yrs ago. With my sluggish old body, footwork has become the key to playing again. I feel as though I'm a beginner, starting all over with a blank slate and practicing how to be more efficient with my movement. I used this tip and now I'm getting to the ball much faster, covering more court, and expending less energy. Thanks to videos such as yours, instead of getting down on myself for all the things that I can no longer do, I'm feeling good about the progress I'm making (little by little) and once again enjoying the game I love. Thank you for the lesson.

    @@geennaam12 well right after the split you want to get ready for the ball when you do that you are more ready for the ball coming than if you are not so it is good when you do it but when you don't then it is ok but not bad HOPE THIS HELPS!!!

    How would you know that the ball goes left or right? Shouldn't you land on your both feet then you decide whether you go to left or right?

    You are reading the contact of the ball. Any bit of momentum, motion you create is better than no movement. Also your physical position on the court does have a lot to do with where they can hit the ball.

    You need to be in the air as opponent contacts. As you are coming down, you will see which side the ball is coming to. So if you see ball is coming to your right, you land on the left foot and push off the left foot to your right.

    Exactly right on the boss your feet now that's just like a boxer you want to stay off of those heels because if you go back on your heels your aunt like it's like you're in quicksand so you're on the balls of your feet and you're ready to make you can move real quick Tiny Steps now kind of like a running back in the NFL and now you have that ability to really launched it a 45° angle to cut off all that Vale whether it's left to right or whether it's coming right down the middle to you and that's when you probably your decision to where you're going to go as far as the Target on that

    Good video, but I don't agree with this timing of the split step, and neither do a number of tour level players. Check Ferrer or Nadal, for example. The balls of their feet contact the court at the instant their opponent strikes the ball. Then, their knees flex, and during that split second, between contact and flex, the direction of the ball to their (and your) forehand or backhand can be picked up. I don't see players doing the land-on-one-foot split step. It's hard enough to do that if you jump from both feet to initiate the split step, but try jumping off of one foot and then taking your first step toward the ball with that same foot. I don't see players doing that, and I don't think most tennis players could do it. Furthermore, if you are in the air when your opponent strikes the ball, you will not be in contact with the earth with your knees flexed, ready to turn your shoulders and move to the ball until your opponent's shot is almost to the net. If their ball is hit with pace or if it's a serve, you are going to be late. If you are skeptical about this, get two people to watch you rally, either volleys or groundstrokes. Have one person say "hit" the instant your opponent strikes the ball: have the other person say "hit" the instant the balls of your feet hit the court. Do this until you can time your split step so both "hits" occur at the same instant. You will be amazed at how much more time you have to turn your shoulders and get into the hitting position and to move to the ball.
