Too much table tennis

Training

Hi Alois and Jeff,

Simple question, how much table tennis would you say is too much? I want to try and play more, but am only a local league player. I know sometimes a rest can be as useful as a practice, but do you think there is such thing as playing too much?

Thanks

Hi Simon,

There is such a thing as playing too much.  If you are enjoying your training and are able to stay focused then you should keep going.  If you are not enjoying it and finding your mind wandering during sessions then it is probably time to rest.  This is really individual for everyone but take that as a guideline.

What should you do when you get forced back from the table? Should you just close your eyes and try and smash the ball back? Should you lob the ball back and try and stay in the point? This week in our master class we discuss your options and when to use the lob, chop or counter attack.
