Practicing Alone

Training

Hello
I have seen the video on your channel about practicing alone and I was wondering what are some ways to practice by yourself if you have a table tennis table. In the video, you mainly addressed ways to practice if you do not have a table. Are they basically the same, or are there different methods. I have practiced serves alone and I have put half of the table up and used it just to hit around. Are there any other ways?

Hi Dan,

I think serving is probably the best thing to work on if you have a table but no partner.

I have used a return board.  This is an interesting option as well.  I found it useful once I got used to hitting to hit.

The other thing is to train someone to be able to feed multi ball to you.  They don't have to be too skilled at hitting but will be able to give good training.

Playing forehand and backhand strokes individually in practice is an important step in your development but to use them effectively in a game situation you must be able to switch between them. This sounds like a simple step but it's something you must practice. Lesson 10 focuses on ensuring you can quickly switch between your backhand and forehand table tennis strokes.
