Hi coach,
I am working on staying lower with a slight forward lean stance during rally
Are there weight training exercises I can do to improve physically?
Thanks,

Hi Andy,
I think that skipping and squats are 2 good exercises that you can start with.
That forward position requires some strength and it is often also just a matter of getting used to being in that lower position. The skipping will help you with the explosive movement from that position.

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.
