Table tennis is a sport which is all about feeling. It seems that I lack feeling, is there any way how I can improve my feeling, especially when it comes to topspin the ball?

Hi Aaron,

Touch and feeling comes with a more play.  It comes with experience of the exact amount of spin and speed that you will need to get the ball on the table.

Keep hitting balls and your feeling will improve.

As a help think about having a relaxed hand so that you can feel the ball better.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
