Training
Hello Alois,
I have a question for you, my training partner simply doesn't want to play table tennis when I really want to practice, Im thinking about buying a robot, anyway, how would you train if you didn't have a training buddy and if you don't have a robot. And what can I do to improve my game?
Thanks,
Trey
Hi Trey,
It is important to try and find a player to practice with or at the least have a robot or something similar to hit. There is no real replacement for this.
We do have a lesson on Practicing Alone which gives you some simple ideas when you can't practice but at some stage you need to hit with another player.
Are there any clubs in your area?
Question actions
The forehand and backhand topspin strokes are two of the most important strokes in table tennis. In lesson 6 you start playing these strokes first by getting someone to throw the ball to you. This makes it easier to get into the correct position and concentrate on the correct start and finish position, and the essential brushing contact. You can then progress to using this in a rally where your training partner learns to block the topspin back.
