Drills for practicing twiddling
Training
Wanda LaLoggia Asked 8 years ago
Do you have any drills that can be used to practice twiddling?
Alois Rosario Answered 8 years ago
Hi Wanda,
You can do a simple drill where your partner hits the ball to both sides alternately and you can try to hit the ball with the same side of your racket on both sides. You could then switch and use the other side of the racket.
The next progression would be to get them to hit the ball to one side for say 3 or 4 balls and then switch randomly to the other side and you have to hit the ball with the same side of the racket.
Then you can get them to hit the ball anywhere on the table and you need to use the same side all the time.

#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.

Thanks Alois... I'll try that! I've wanted to incorporate twiddling into my game, but wondered if I should wait until I get a little better or try to start learning it now. I'll give it a try.
