Avoid getting bored

Training

Jeffery Liem Asked 14 years ago

Hi coach,

After I get the well-developed skills for pingpong, I feel little boring. Every time, we practice like a machine, forehand topspin to forehand topspin, backhand topspin to backhand topspin, from single point to random point, attack after service and receiving service practice, then games...etc!

So, what is your suggestion(planning) to avoid boring?

Hi Jeffery,

Play more games if you are getting bored. I think though that you need to realise that the 'boring practice' or repetitive training is crucial for long term development.

Try doing a different set of drills. Find some new drills that you haven't done before. YOu can see a full set of them in our free download that is available on our site. Take a look at our handout on Training Drills.

Switching Between Forehand and Backhand

Playing forehand and backhand strokes individually in practice is an important step in your development but to use them effectively in a game situation you must be able to switch between them. This sounds like a simple step but it's something you must practice. Lesson 10 focuses on ensuring you can quickly switch between your backhand and forehand table tennis strokes.
