Improving match play
Training
Michael Song Asked 9 years ago
I feel as if I'm running around in circles.. I've been training everyday for 4.5 hrs.. but I feel as if I haven't made any progress.. my rating has in fact gone down significantly.. is there any way that I can learn to benefit from my practice?

Hi Michael,
Perhaps you can now start to focus a little more on your match strategies with you training. At first it is important to develop your strokes and techniques. As you start to play more matches and are looking for results, then you can start to think more about your serve and third ball drills.
Take a look at our free download of Training Drills and go to the section on Match drills for some ideas of things you can work on.

Lobbing Tactics
If you get pushed back from the table don't just give up the point. Try and and get back into the rally. By lobbing the ball high and deep you give yourself time to get into position. If you can then get some topspin on the ball to force the smasher further away from the table then you are likely to get a weaker smash and then you can take your chance and try to counter attack!
