Practising alone
Training
Grenville Pereira Asked 14 years ago
Hi Alois
I had purchased a table tennis wooden board which can be placed on any table. I normally practise serves on this or fold it and place it against the wall and keep hitting the ball . The only problem I see is that overall the size of this board would be about 2/3 of an actual table tennis table.
Is it ok to keep practising on this or would it affect one's shots on an actual table. What type of excercises do you recommend practising on board like this.
Thanks Regards
Grenville

Hi Grenville,
This is a good alternative if you can't use a table and a partner to play. Any hitting will build your coordination.
Take a look at our lesson on Practicing Alone for some good tips.

Lobbing Tactics
If you get pushed back from the table don't just give up the point. Try and and get back into the rally. By lobbing the ball high and deep you give yourself time to get into position. If you can then get some topspin on the ball to force the smasher further away from the table then you are likely to get a weaker smash and then you can take your chance and try to counter attack!
