As for moving from a forehand to a backhand, you start moving your right foot first before your left and then right and lastly left.
2. In and Out Footwork
When to use this? This is employed to return a short service.
To make this return, move your body forwards (IN) to reach the ball to play your stroke and afterwards return back (OUT) to the ready position.
When moving inwards towards the ball, step your right foot forward positioning your right leg under the table. After playing your shot, return back to the base position.
Your left foot moves followed by the movement of your right foot under the table. After playing your stroke, your right foot then moves back outwards and your left foot returns back to base position.
Simply put, the footwork is: left, right, right and finally left.

3. Crossover Footwork
When to use this? When you need to return at a faster pace.
If the ball advances wide to your forehand side, you can use this crossover footwork pattern as it is faster than using the side to side footwork. As the name suggests, your legs cross over each other for you to reach and catch the oncoming ball at a faster pace.
To move from the backhand side to the wide forehand side, you cross your leg foot wide to the right side. Then using the left foot as a pivot, shift your weight to your left foot. You should transfer your body rightwards and move your right foot across as you play your shot.
