What do I have to do to train my balance, and what is most important in the physical part of table tennis?

Hi Olle,

To train your balance, keep attention on it.  When playing your strokes think about the weight being evenly balanced on both feet at the point of impact of the bat on the ball.

By doing this you will start to get a better feel for your balance and weight transfer.

Take a look at our lesson on the Basic Stance and Footwork Basics.

Balance is a really important part of improving your game and your strokes.

As far as physical training take a look at our previous blogs on the subject. Weight Training Specifically for Table Tennis and Strength Conditioning for Table Tennis.
