Footwork and timing

I find a lot of times (most of the time) I'm standing there watching my shot. To make sure it arrives safely to the other side of the table.

Do people have any tips or sayings that they use to make sure they are moving to the right location for the next shot. I remember a coach once told me a phrase he used to say mentally to keep his feet moving in rhythm with the ball - sadly I didn't write it down. (Maybe subconsciously, I knew - I ain't movin! - great CD)

Thanks in advance

I'm personally in the middle of drilling out this same thing. I've had time to practice a lot lately, and two of the biggest things are mentioned above: watching my own shot before moving, and not staying low. I have this tendency from a few years without practice to serve and then stand up before getting down to make a shot. Even if I get myself moving okay, It's much harder on your body, much less efficient, and throws off my timing if you have to force yourself down first and then make a shot. I've been really focusing on timing and staying down. But it's still hard to get used to because bad habits are drilled in hard. All you can do about it is focus on the right thing and practice. You can't get rid of doing it easily without practice. As said above, drills that keep you moving will help eliminate the habit of watching to see if your shot lands, because when doing drills the ball always comes back.
