Training
Dear Jeff and Alois. Table tennis in Miami is once more in crisis: They closed our place. Only hoping that we'll find another one soon enough to avoid rust in my joints, what kind of exercises should I do to stay in shape.
Hi Eduardo,
That is a shame. Can you find a small place and put a table in there? Even if you have to set it up each time you play?
In the meantime take a look at our tips on Practicing Alone. This may keep the touch until you find another venue.
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.
