Move Your Feet, Don’t Just Reach

Summary

Kyle Koszuta’s footwork cue: a lot of mishits start before the swing. When you don’t move your feet, the ball gets outside your strike zone and you lean, reach, and flick. Fix sequence: move early, get behind the ball, then be still at contact so the paddle path stays clean.

Key takeaways

• Move early so the ball stays in your zone
• Get behind the ball — don’t reach across
• Still at contact beats a stretch-flick
• Bad contact is often a footwork problem, not a swing problem

Action items

• Wide feeds; take 2–3 steps before every swing
• Film contact: feet planted or leaning?
• Wall: only hit balls you get behind (skip reaches)
• Cue: ‘feet first, then swing’
