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.

#8 - Fast Footwork

In this session you'll focus on increasing the speed of your footwork. To do this we ask you to forget about consistency and concentrate on speed. You should be playing at a pace where you can get around 4 or 5 balls on the table. If you are getting 10 or 20 balls on then you need to up your pace again. It's important to play right to the edge of your ability to actually increase your skill level. We also continue to develop the new serve you have chosen to work on.
