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.

Long Returns

By throwing in some long returns you will keep your opponent off balance so when you do return the ball short they can't just be standing there waiting for it. But your long serve needs to be effective so they can't attack it too strongly. Watch this master class to find out all the important information about returning long.

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.
