I saw your video on warming up with dynamic stretches. Seems quite interesting... My school coach always does static stretches before playing on the table. I was wondering, does static stretches make you play worse? And what does your full warm up look like?

Hi Jasper,

I don't think it will make you play worse but dynamic stretches get the body warmed up and the muscles warmer.  They are more similar to the movements you will have during your playing.

The first 3 balls in a rally are really important. This week we want you to concentrate once again on your third ball attack and work on varying your spin, speed and placement. Remember faster isn't always better. Tactically you need to be able to think about these 3 variables.
