Playing by yourself

Hi again, most the time when I practise table tennis I am playing with the table half folded on my own. Are there any shots that I can practice with the table like that or is it not possible to practice by myself?

Hi Arran,

It is difficult to practice all of your strokes against the folded up table because the ball doesn't come back to you properly as you start to play faster or more advanced strokes.

It can be a useful tool when starting out to develop control of the ball on the table.

Take a look at this tutorial on Practicing Alone that I think will give you some good ideas.

Defensive Shot Selection

What should you do when you get forced back from the table? Should you just close your eyes and try and smash the ball back? Should you lob the ball back and try and stay in the point? This week in our master class we discuss your options and when to use the lob, chop or counter attack.
