    Okay, when performing the splitstep, it's really easy to maneuver to the front and back forehand corners but when going to the backhand corners, it's less smooth because you can't push off right away. (Hopefully that makes sense)

    So is there any way to make the footwork more smooth to backhand corners after performing a splitstep?

    it also how you're standing when you're split stepping. you'd should split step with right foot half a step forward if you're backhand side is weak (if you're right handed).

    then all you need to do is to chasse and block jump :D

    i myself split step square to the net, so the only trick is to practise turning fluidly

    Well i'm mostly concerned with the backhand footwork to the front, it feels kind of awkward after a split step.
