Ankle Weights for Beginners
Training
Danison De Guzman Asked 11 years ago
Hi! Thank you very much for every tutorials :D
Is ankle weight advisable for beginners like me? I played about a couple of weeks ago and I am an 8th grader student. If it is advisable then how many kg should I buy? 1kg? 1.5kg? 2kg? 0.5kg?
And speaking of weights, is wrist weight also advisable? Thank you very much!

Hi Danison,
I don’t think it is advisable to use these. You are better to learn your stroke well with out any weights. The weight puts a downward pressure on your arm whereas later you want resistance on a different plane rather than downwards.

We could have called this master class never give up. It's amazing when you are on the back foot in a rally how many times you can actually win the point just by making your opponent play one extra ball. Watch the video to find out how effective this is and how you can practice this skill.

Thank you very much for the fast reply! :D I am very glad!
But how about the ankle weight? Is it advisable to increase my footwork and foot speed?
This again is a different stress. It is more about being able to move sideways more effectively.
