Hi Alois

My friends and I are very bad at blocking the ball to one side that we wanted. Thus, it is very difficult for us to do the footwork drills. Can you help?

Hi Yap,

Against these practice partner use it as a more random drill.  This can actually be better for your training because it gets you used to more random play that you will get in a match.

#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.
