Keeping in touch no table
Training
rana prathap Asked 12 years ago
hi pingskillers,
I am happy to say that after joining pingskills and after playing continuously, I have now developed some feel of the racket, the ball, the table, and I can read some spin now.
I am going to my native village for a vacation for 20 days and there are no table tennis tables or players there. I may have a tournament immediately after coming back. How do I make sure that I don't lose what I have, in this vacation, with access to only a bat and a ball?
Thanks

Hi Rana,
I am glad that you have seen improvement in your game.
There are a few tips in our lesson on Practicing Alone depending on your level. Also try doing some shadow play. That is practicing your shots without the ball.
You could also do some visualisation. So close your eyes and go over your stroke and techniques in your mind. This can also be a powerful tool.

#30 - Flick and Long Fast Push
By throwing in some unexpected long returns you will keep your opponent off balance and this will make each short push you do so much more effective. That's why it's important to be able to return long. You've got 2 options. You can flick the ball or push it long and fast. This week our focus is on these types of returns.

That's so thoughtful an answer from your part. The visualisation technique you suggested sounds promising. Can't wait to try that out.
thank you
No problems Rana.
