Success Stories from the PingSkills Community
Hear from players who have improved their game with PingSkills.
"I started as a good junior tennis player who occasionally played table tennis recreationally. Once I retired, I started playing table tennis regularly and it became my passion, but I soon found out that I really didn't know how to play it properly. Fortunately, I found the PingSkills website, which I found to be instrumental in my progress as a player. Alois and Jeff provide good resources for the technical aspect of hitting the various types of shots but also provides guidance for match play and even sport psychology. There are many key things that I have learned but one that resonates with me is the importance of the finish position. If I finish my strokes properly, I usually hit a good shot and that is something that most other instructors don't emphasize but I find it really important even after playing for a couple of years. In addition, their website has a wealth of information even on dealing with some uncommon situations. Once, I played a person who accidentally was hitting me short high shots near the net with backspin. This seemed like an easy shot to put away, but I missed a number of them. When I went to their website, I found a video on how to hit this exact shot. They have so much information on their website. Keep up the good work."

"The plethora of table tennis videos on Youtube can be bewildering and sometimes contradictory. By contrast PingSkills tutorials are logically structured and flow well. They cover all areas of the sport from technique to strategy and psychology. The videos are well edited. Alois and Jeff clearly can 'walk the talk' with good use of demonstrations and slow motion."
"PingSkills has been a game changer for my table tennis. The clear instructions and attention to detail have really helped me fine-tune my technique. I've made improvements I never thought possible."
"I've always struggled with backspin and serving techniques, but the tutorials from Jeff and Alois finally made it click for me. Their explanations are easy to follow, and I've seen amazing progress!"
"The videos are outstanding. I've been able to increase my consistency and understand the game much better thanks to their detailed tips. I'm enjoying playing table tennis more than ever now."

Your elbow is dropping below the table level during your backswing, limiting the topspin you can generate and making your stroke inconsistent.
Keep your elbow up and roughly level with the table during the backswing. Lead with the elbow first, then accelerate the wrist through contact.
