Hi Alois/Jeff

Yesterday I was practising service for about 3-4 hrs with some breaks. Then I played a match with my grandpa. I couldn't even complete the match I was so tired and had muscle cramps. I was a bit fine before the match. But after the match I couldn't even walk properly. My parents said that you are playing too much. I don't quiet understand how much time should I spend on table tennis. Pls advice and thx

Hi Bhavesh,

I think the most important thing is that you are fresh and keen to learn.  If you feel yourself getting tired and bored with the training, then it is probably time to take a rest.  Feeling fatigued is part of training as long as you don't overdo it.

It is more about the freshness of the mind and willingness to learn.

Forehand and Backhand Topspin

The forehand and backhand topspin strokes are two of the most important strokes in table tennis. In lesson 6 you start playing these strokes first by getting someone to throw the ball to you. This makes it easier to get into the correct position and concentrate on the correct start and finish position, and the essential brushing contact. You can then progress to using this in a rally where your training partner learns to block the topspin back.
