Does it stick once I learn

Strokes

Let's say that hypothetically, I practiced table tennis for 6-7 years. If I were to stop playing after that, will I get to keep those skills I learned in practice or will I have to warm up to it until I tap onto those skills I once had?

Hi Esteban,

If you learn them well initially they will be there.  They may take a bit of switching on again after a few years but it shouldn't take long.

Forehand Counterhit

The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:

  1. Your feet position
  2. Your start position
  3. Your finish position

If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
