Training

David David Foeckler Asked 9 years ago

Hi, I'm 14 and I would consider myself pretty good at table tennis. I've been playing recreationally and would like to get better. I'm not in any leagues or anything but I play against my friend very regularly.  I have mastered my forehand topspin/slam. What can I do to get better? should i buy a robot? Look for clubs in Va? ( live in VA )

Thanks, David

Hi David,

Well done on improving your strokes.

I think the best thing you can do is to find a club.  This will give you a chance to watch and play with better players.

By following the videos we have and training regularly you will improve your game quickly.

Effective Third Ball

Think about varying your spin, speed and placement. In this master class we explain what makes a great third ball attack and Jeff shares some of his personal favourite third ball tips.

Do you have any opinions for clubs in Front Royal area, or near there?

Hi David,

The USA Table Tennis website has a club finder that should help you find one.
