How should I train
Training
Moocached none Asked 12 years ago
Hello,
I recently received a table tennis table. I played a bit with my brother and I really enjoyed it. However my brother didn't. I have seen some of your videos and they are very helpful. However my brother will not train with me and no one else will either. I also have a machine that fires out balls with different speeds and spin. I would like to ask you how I should train. I am really enthusiastic but I don't know how to improve (I am a complete beginner).
Sorry if I am a pain.
Thanks,
Moocached

Hi Moocached,
You can use the robot to do some of your training. Having a partner is a lot better but if you don’t have one then the robot is next best.
Take a look at the drills we have in our Training Drills free download. This will give you some ideas for your training. Also take a look at the Training Plan. This gives you an outline of how to structure your training session.
The other lessons that are useful but are part of our Premium lessons is the Training Secrets series.
You are not a pain. We enjoy being able to help players.

The Controller
Most drills involve one person performing the exercise and the other placing the ball as required by the exercise. We call this person placing the ball the controller. When you are acting as the controller it is a great opportunity to practice your blocking and concentration. As blocking is an important part of the game you should be 100% focused at this time. You also owe it to your training partner to be blocking effectively so they get the most from their exercise.
