Ian’s split step at
the start of this move is totally inadequate. He
lands with a base that is too narrow, which in turn
means that he can not sink into his split or store
any elastic energy. As a result of this, any
subsequent explosive move is impossible. As he gets
into his hitting position, there is already a lack
of legwork, which means correct rotation will be
difficult. This can be seen as he
swings through his stroke and brings the right foot
through far too early. He tries to end with good
balance, but the damage has already been done. It is also worth
noting that Ian’s left knee caves inwards after he
has finished his shot, indicating a strength
problem.
