Hi!

As i play short pimples on backhand and normal on forehand i need to be very fast (like Tan Ruiwu) do you know some drills i can do to get faster but that doesn’t need a table?

Hi Fredrik,

You can do some shadow play where you aren’t using a ball or table and practice switching between the two strokes of backhand and forehand.

Play a full stroke in between each movement from side to side.

Without a table it is limited as to what you can do.
