How to practice on your own

Dear Alois and Jeff

i think that I am an advanced player but the trouble is that i don't have a partner to play with all the time. I do have a table that folds and currently, I lift one side up and practice against that. However I don't think that my level is improving with that. Could you please give me some tips that I could use? 

Hi Adam,

Take a look at our lesson on Practicing Alone.  This will give you some ideas.

However there is no substitute to a good training session with a partner.  See if you can find a club in the area or a group of people that like to train.  This will help you a lot.
