Balance
Footwork
Olle Ã…berg Asked 12 years ago
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.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…
Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:
✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
