Incorporating Drills into a game

Training

CONNIE CHAI Asked 14 years ago

I have a nine years old son. He is under training for table tennis. Whenever he is doing a practical drills, the footwork techniques and skills such as forehand loop, backhand counter, push etc is readily consistency but when come to rally, it's comes up to be in a mess. The proper techniques and skills is not perfect anymore. Please advice what to do. Thanks

Hi Connie,

This is a part of natural development.

As he does more playing competitively he will start to be able to put together the training skills he is improving. He will start to do more random drills where the ball is going anywhere. This will train his anticipation and ability to follow the ball in the rally.

Don't need to rush the process. It will all get better. It is more a matter of making sure he is enjoying the learning. The rest will come.

Speed Against Defenders

To win against defenders you need to think about your tactics. Simply hitting every ball hard makes it easy for the chopper to get into a nice rhythm. You are much better off varying the speed of your attacks and drawing your opponent in and out.
