Skills to be learnt
Strokes
Ashwinkumar Rangarajan Asked 12 years ago
I am R. Ashwin Kumar from India. I have a quest.
I have joined my school's Table Tennis club a month ago and I am improving myself to my maximum. So I am in a situation to learn the main tricks in Table Tennis. My seniors dominate me and they don't teach me the tricks and they treat me as a learner. So I need to show my hidden talents. So I require a moral advice in developing my skills.
It would be great if you accept my request. I'm hoping for the best from you.

There are several areas within the Lessons section that you should go through to make yourself a better player. These will keep you busy for a while.
