Additional tipps

A fast and efficient footwork is quiet! Except your start you should try to avoid loud noises, especially when you land in the corners. A loud noise is usually a sign, that your footwork hast to much up and down movement that will cost you a lot of energy and time.

As is said in the video, a low center of gravitiy is important if you want to move fast. There can be situations where you have a lot of time and don’t need maximum speed, so there you can also move with a higher center of gravity to safe some energy (staying low all the time can be very very hard). In defensive situations you usually have to be very low, to be able to react fast enough on the attacking shots of your opponents.
