Playing by yourself
Training
Arran Turner Asked 3 years ago
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.

#33 - Defending with the Block
One thing you can be sure of is that every top player will be able to keep the ball on the table with a solid block when under pressure. It seems that this is a pre-requisite to becoming a good player. That's why in this training session we focus on improving your block. If you can absorb your opponent's attack you will be in a good position to win a match against them.
