TIP OF THE WEEK

Commitment to Footwork

By Carl Danner

 Technique is important, but the critical ingredient for good footwork is a "no excuses" attitude towards moving your fool self over there to get the ball. You have to rule out leaning, reaching, giving up, and all the other compromises and excuses and get your body in position NOW to make a complete stroke. If the ball goes by you, be sure it does so only as you are moving at full speed towards it.

You will be surprised how much better you can move once you have made a true commitment to footwork. Try it!
