Hi Coach!

I have a problem with my partner. HE DOES NOT PRACTICE SERIOUS ! he is also not interested in warm up and only want to play matches. He is decreasing my game level. so, how can I play without a serious partner ?

Hi Haris,

You can not force him to train properly.  You need to either use what he is doing more effectively or try to find a different partner.

Use the games practice to train things you want to practice.  This is not ideal but it may be the best option.  You can talk to him about the benefits of training properly and try to show him a better way.

#8 - Fast Footwork

In this session you'll focus on increasing the speed of your footwork. To do this we ask you to forget about consistency and concentrate on speed. You should be playing at a pace where you can get around 4 or 5 balls on the table. If you are getting 10 or 20 balls on then you need to up your pace again. It's important to play right to the edge of your ability to actually increase your skill level. We also continue to develop the new serve you have chosen to work on.
