Dealing with Clipped Arms
Training
McRey Banderlipe II Asked 13 years ago
Dear Alois,
I have a problem with my clipped (or closed) arms that makes me less flexible when dealing with long attacks on the side.
My trainer would always ask me to stretch out my arms wide as possible, but still I find it difficult sometimes.
How can I correct it?
Thank you.

Hi McRey,
You need to use what you have available. I help with the Australian Paralympic squad, it is amazing what they can do to overcome their limitations.
I guess it is all about potential and finding ways to reach it. I find the players with limitations with their upper body, need to work harder on their lower body to compensate and vice versa.

#25 - Serving with Spin
You get plenty of opportunity to practice serving with spin in this week's training plan. We change the normal routine slightly by not having a dedicated serving time at the end of the session. Instead we focus on and practice the serve through most of the exercises. This is an important part of Table Tennis so put a lot of effort into this session.
