What are the best drills to do or best way to train on my own, or should I buy a ball machine to help.

Hi Oli,
Here is a lesson we made on the topic. I hope it helps. Practicing Alone
As far as ball machine, I think they are a reasonable option if you don't have anyone else to hit with but by far the preferred option would be to try to find a club if at all possible so that you can find practice partners or even get a friend involved in the game.

Lobbing Tactics
If you get pushed back from the table don't just give up the point. Try and and get back into the rally. By lobbing the ball high and deep you give yourself time to get into position. If you can then get some topspin on the ball to force the smasher further away from the table then you are likely to get a weaker smash and then you can take your chance and try to counter attack!
