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.

#33 - Defending with the Block
One thing you can be sure of is that every top player will be able to keep the ball on the table with a solid block when under pressure. It seems that this is a pre-requisite to becoming a good player. That's why in this training session we focus on improving your block. If you can absorb your opponent's attack you will be in a good position to win a match against them.
