Training

Pasquale Mule Asked 9 years ago

Hi Alois!, i have gone to a table tennis ranking last month!, i reached 1/8 finals and lost to one of the best players of Costa Rica! It was only 2 sets. I lost the first 11-8 and the second 15-13! I have won alot of points on short service, The reason why he lost so many points on the short service was because i varied the spin and placement very well.

Question: When i train my consistency on my strokes, can i improve on making as much as i can on the table without making a mistake? like for example: i try getting to 100 this week on the table without making a mistake, 200 next week without and making a mistake.

Do you think this is effective?

Hi Pasquale,

You have come a long way since we first had contact. Well done.

I thin consistency training is a good way of improving technique. It is also important to be able to implement your strokes in to a game situation which usually only requires you to make the shot once or twice in a rally but also coming from different positions to make the shot.

Forehand and Backhand Topspin

The forehand and backhand topspin strokes are two of the most important strokes in table tennis. In lesson 6 you start playing these strokes first by getting someone to throw the ball to you. This makes it easier to get into the correct position and concentrate on the correct start and finish position, and the essential brushing contact. You can then progress to using this in a rally where your training partner learns to block the topspin back.
