Zane Navratil is producing some interesting videos on youtube. His latest was about ground strokes. He says he sees a lot of folks using just an arm swipe to hit the ball. What he likes is to use the whole body.
He has a drill for that! He keeps the non-dominate hand in close contact with the paddle hand. When the hands are together it will cause you to rotate your shoulders and that will engage the torso and legs and as you go to hit the ball, it should all unwind from the feet up. I think I mentioned this before, but keeping the hands together when dinking is also a good drill.
This is not a lot different from a good golf swing.
Doing this drill will keep your body pretty compact and not stretched out, which he sees as a good thing. But if you don't stretch, you'll need to move your feet!
Here is the video:

Worth a watch.
