I'm curios about this I read on your About Us page.

Alois began by hitting a ball up against the wall at home for hour upon hour.

 Did you hit the ball on a half table and hit it against the wall or did you play on a full table and hit it against the wall like a return board?

Hi Charlie,

It was simply hitting against the wall with no table at all.  I would let it bounce on the wooden floor.

Any hitting of this sort at a young age is beneficial to develop coordination and a feel for the ball.

It is something that you can do almost anywhere.

Thanks for sharing Alois! I didn't know hitting it against a wall and letting it bounce would develop someone to become a good table tennis player. I think I've seen this kind of practice before. It's a practice for Tennis players to improve getting to the ball as fast as possible and hit it against the wall.
