Warm up to get into rhythm
Training
Roneil Sivanandan Asked 9 years ago
Hey guys
Thanks as always for the great show.
Before I get to practice, I usually watch a video or two to get my mind focused on TT. The video is generally on an aspect I am looking to improve on or have been struggling with. When I get to the hall, I do some stretches and running on the spot and some shadow strokes. Are there any routines including training exercises I can do when I get on the table that will allow me to get into rhythm quicker and allow me to play at my normal level sooner as I sometimes find I am only playing normally after the first 5 set game.
Thanks

Hi Roneli,
Challenge yourself more with the hitting. Do some anywhere hitting which will force you to track the ball better straight away.
Also play some practice points or games as well. Starting the rally with a serve is a key component to a good warm up before a match.

#8 - Fast Footwork
In this session you'll focus on increasing the speed of your footwork. To do this we ask you to forget about consistency and concentrate on speed. You should be playing at a pace where you can get around 4 or 5 balls on the table. If you are getting 10 or 20 balls on then you need to up your pace again. It's important to play right to the edge of your ability to actually increase your skill level. We also continue to develop the new serve you have chosen to work on.
