David Bailey is the first analyst and coach to systematically study the real footwork patterns of great movers at all levels. In this series we are presenting the 12 Golden Moves that players need to have complete world class footwork. For an introduction to Dave's system, Click Here!

In this article David demonstrates how to transfer the weight when hitting off a fully loaded stance, usually for a shorter or floating ball and often with a higher contact height. It’s Golden Move #5: The Loaded Transfer. See David teach the step pattern and then watch it demonstrated by players like you (or players you might want to become!), including both adults and juniors.

David’s work is based on two decades of study of the world’s best players, including extensive analysis of the archives on Tennisplayer. Check out his articles on pro footwork in the Footwork section with footage from live pro play! (Click Here!)
