Sir what should be the ideal distance between me and the table tennis table while playing, serving and practising?

Hi Debanjan,

As a guide to start with, you should be able to just touch the table when you are in the Basic stance.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
