This is what makes it a critical piece in the pantheon of high level pro movement patterns. It saves fractions of seconds when they really matter. It allows them to stay on balanced and make the most efficient possible recovery. The Mogul Move is a critical pattern in pro tennis because it keeps players from running further past the ball than absolutely necessary. When the player is moving backwards, the cross steps can be in front, but it can also be a cross step behind the body in order to facilitate the most efficient possible recovery.
The Mogul Move on the forward and backward diagonals. It allows players to stay in the point and/or hitting a counterattacking shot. This is what makes the Mogul Move so effective. This contains their momentum, allows them to brake, and then change direction and move back to the center of the court as quickly and efficiently as possible. The Mogul Move allows players to control their bodies and go only one step beyond the ball. But with the Mogul Move, this movement is more controlled.
When players use the Power Move, they end up going far beyond the ball. The center of gravity stays between the feet, and the hips move sideways in a straight line in the direction of the movement. In both cases, the athlete becomes briefly airborne, keeping his balance as the feet skim over the ground. I call it the Mogul Move because it resembles how skiers move on a downhill mogul run. You see all three variations used on the forehand, and both the one-handed and two-handed backhands. You also see players use the Mogul Move when they move forward or backward on an angle toward the ball or away from the ball. Briefly airborne, the players skim the court keeping and then landing on balance.
