Steps to strokes
Training
Rudraansh Patel Shree Asked 5 years ago
I and my friends are beginners at table tennis. I told them about your coaching tips and how can we increase our consistency using different practices but they don't agree, they think that we can play better only by practicing fast and spinny shots. What should I do?

Hi Rudraansh,
The first thing is to get the stroke correct and then you will be able to be more consistent. Increasing speed and spin is the next step.
Getting it to a match type speed is important in training but if you are not making any shots on the table then it is difficult to know what a successful stroke feels like.

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.
