Practice and training partner

How do I find a partner to practice with? I play once a week with my pal who had a stroke 7 years ago and can't really spin the ball so the scoring is weighted in my favour. I also play doubles once a week but always have different partners and different opponents.

Hi Roy,

You may be able to ask someone at the group where you play doubles or find a club in your area.  Is this something that you have already explored?

Practice partners are not always easy to find but the search is worth persevering with.

#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.

Yes, in short. All the local clubs seem to major on their junior groups....no mention of oldies like me and would approach them if all else fails

Where do you live Roy ?

 

You could always put a question up on here asking for partners in your location.

Lots of 70 year olds in clubs.
