Long period training with return board

Kevin Winata Asked 9 years ago

Hi Alois,

When I practicing table tennis only with a return board (no training partner) for a long time (maybe several weeks), I just practicing my topspins (forehand and backhand). We never use any backspin when we play a drill with a return board right?

So, should I train to serve (separately)? I mean can I keep the level of my serve just by practicing topspins without serving?

Thanks for your time Coach!

Hi Kevin,

The return board is good if you have nothing else. Practising your serve would be great for you. It is such an important part of the game.

So how about chop or push or lob? How could I practice that with a return board?

I don’t think this is possible. It is a big limitation of a return board.

I think lobbing and pushing is possible, but chopping is hard to do as we'll receive backspins. I could lob the ball, maybe the ball won't be come back, but I'll use multiball. My problem is about the chop

Any body there who have an Idea how to practice chopping without partner?
