Physical warm up for table tennis
Training
Jasper Low Asked 3 years ago
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.

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.
