I feel it is nonetheless known as a break up step whether or not there’s a leap or not.
Some folks use the phrase “break up drop” when it is simply the dropping. And “break up leap” when it features a leap. However each are break up steps. The drop is the core facet of the break up step.
it is attention-grabbing that you just say that..
(placing apart “pounce with out altering their toes place” ‘cos I do not know what which means)..
And are you referring to a step with racket foot, or step with non racket foot or each..
Trying
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 assist what you say in regards to the break up step..
Their again knee is bending..
After I returned serve I had my entrance foot perhaps 6″ from the service line in prepared place. .
I at one time bought 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 mentioned he’d be proud of that himself! Gamers at my degree did not wish 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 break up step. Assuming they have not served a large one, my model was to step with non-racket foot(entrance foot) relatively 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 break up step although i am undecided that I’m.. The muscle tissue are already loaded from weight leaning forwards.. I do not know if there is a break up step there,
A distinction between my one and his one, and I feel it is a factor that if i did it might make mine higher. Is I feel my again foot was extra sideways on. So if I used to be to drop my again knee it may not assist as a lot. Whereas his again foot seems to be 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 keep in mind 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 break 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 break up step is a humorous one..
Generally the foot place being entrance again , and even touchdown one foot earlier than the opposite, is not a part of a directional break up step.. it is simply a part of the footwork..
Othertimes it’s a directional break up step as a result of it isn’t a part of the footwork it is finished in anticipation..
For example of 1 which (so far as I recall from what I understood from after I regarded into it a protracted whereas again)..
Lin Dan vs Viktor Axelsen | Shuttle Superb

See rally beginning at 0:51
There’s two lifts, from Axelson. to LD’s FH facet. 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 break up step, again foot then entrance foot and with toes very front-back. However from what I recall of what I understood when trying into it, it isn’t a directional break up step it is simply the footwork getting again to the centre and able to go forwards doubtlessly.
I did not prepare directional break up steps however I did enquire about them and from what I recall, it is when the burden biases a technique, based mostly on anticipation that the opponent will doubtless hit it into a specific spot, and there may additionally be a toes positioning that biases that manner too. (But when it is simply toes positioning which are 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’ll doubtless hit it into a specific spot, then that would not be a directional break up step).
