Consistency and Multi-ball
Training
Wasiq Khawar Asked 12 years ago
Hello Alois and Jeff,
What drills can you do to improve consistency? ( especially with backhand and forehand topspins)
Also, my practice partner is not very good so how could I train with him?

Hi Wasiq,
The best thing to improve consistency is to play slowly and try to get as many balls on the table as possible in a row. But first it is important to get the technique correct. If you get good technique then you will also give yourself the best chance of making the stroke correctly and on the table more.
If your practice partner isn't as good, then Multi-ball is a good option. We will be making a lesson on Multi-ball and how to do it shortly. It is where you have a bucket of balls and your partner feeds them out to you one at a time. They don't need to be able to keep up with your hitting to be able to give you a good amount of practice.

Lobbing Tactics
If you get pushed back from the table don't just give up the point. Try and and get back into the rally. By lobbing the ball high and deep you give yourself time to get into position. If you can then get some topspin on the ball to force the smasher further away from the table then you are likely to get a weaker smash and then you can take your chance and try to counter attack!
