Hi Daryl,

Work on your blocking stroke.  Take a look at these tutorials on the Backhand Block and Forehand Block.

Then also watch the tutorial on Improving Your Reflexes.  This will help you get to more balls.

However, I think the best advice comes in this tutorial on I Can't Return That Smash!.

Best Doubles Tips in Table Tennis

In this video, we share 2 essential tips that can instantly improve your doubles play whether you're just starting out or already competing in matches.

🏓 Tip 1: Learn why playing more shots down the line helps your partner stay in position and how a well-timed cross-court attack can still surprise your opponents.
🏓 Tip 2: Discover the power of serving short and close to the centre line to reduce your opponents’ attacking options and give your team the advantage.

These small adjustments can make a big difference in your coordination, positioning, and success as a doubles pair.
