Confidence in playing my strokes

Khalifa AlShamisi Asked 11 years ago

Hello Pingskills

I play table tennis regularly and I learned various types of strokes from your videos but I find it difficult to be more confident while playing these strokes in the rally.

Please can you give a tip to be more confident

Hi Khalifa,

This is a matter of the number of times you do the skill.  If you practice it enough in training you will start to develop confidence.  Also make sure in training you are putting yourself under some pressure to make the stroke properly.  This is the big difference between training and matches.  That is why by trying to replicate some pressure you will get the feeling of a match in training.  This will make the transition easier when it comes to a match.
