Sudden deprovement

Training

Dear Alois and Jeff

I recently feel like I have deproved. I always forget to move and my consistency is 10-20%. As a result I always end up playing "safely" or more defensively and then I end up lobbing. How did this happen and how can I overcome it?

Cheers

Hi Oliver,

This happens sometimes.  The most important thing is to remain focused and keep training through it.  Even the best players feel like this sometimes.

As you develop your confidence the shots will get more attacking and you will stay closer to the table.

#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.
