Playing by yourself
Training
Arran Turner Asked 2 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.

#12 - Defensive Technique
Although attacking is the most popular style at the top level in Table Tennis, it is important to be able to defend well. If you choose to play a defensive style then you should be practicing these strokes all the time. If you play an attacking stroke then you should still try and find some time for these strokes. If you can win one extra point by defending well when pressured, it could make the difference between winning and losing.
