New Bat but no practice partner
Training
Fredrik Findahl Asked 14 years ago
I got my new bat today.
How can I get used to play with my new bat?
I don't have a table tennis partner, so how can I get used to my new bat alone?

Hi Fredrik,
It is always exciting to get new equipment. The best way to get used to it is obviously to hit as much as you can.
Since you don't have a hitting partner, you could just hit the ball against the wall or up in the air. Take a look at our lesson on Practicing Alone. This may also give you some ideas.
Good luck with that new bat.

The Controller
Most drills involve one person performing the exercise and the other placing the ball as required by the exercise. We call this person placing the ball the controller. When you are acting as the controller it is a great opportunity to practice your blocking and concentration. As blocking is an important part of the game you should be 100% focused at this time. You also owe it to your training partner to be blocking effectively so they get the most from their exercise.
