When skipping, begin with two feet. Focus on getting the hands working properly first, whic hmeans arms low and turn your wrists rather than turn your arms.

When this seems easy, two hops right leg, two hops left leg. Then alternate hops and build your speed . Focus on the lightness of your steps rather than speed initially and build from there.

Net shots

Yes, there are a number of thoughts regarding how to play them. I’ve seen Peter Rasmussen’s and Zhao’s videos on net shots. If you watch players at the net, they make the shot look effortless. I didn’t quite get what Peter was saying because I’ve always been shown the combination of arm and wrist depending on where you’re playing the shot too and from.

The wrist has to play a part if you want deception in your game, otherwise you’re telegraphing what you are about to play.
