Long period training with return board
Training
Kevin Winata Asked 11 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.

Apart from the serve, the return is the most important stroke in Table Tennis. This week we focus heavily on the first 2 balls in the rally to give you the maximum time serving and returning.

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