Training

Hi coach, I am a social player trying to get serious into tt. I am fortunate to have a few tt clubs around my house, which together have lots of training sessions and competitions. I am able to play about 2-3 sessions (2 hours per session) per week. In your opinion, what is the right balance between training and competition?

e.g. 70% training 30% competition, 50% training 50% competition

Hi Esi,

The percentages will depend on what stage of development you are at.  If you are really close to playing a big competition, then you should increase the amount of games that you play.  If you are trying to develop your skills then focus more on training.

Forehand and Backhand Counterhit

In lesson 4 we work on the important forehand and backhand counterhit strokes. These are the basis for much more powerful strokes you will develop in the future. We start slowly and then work our way up to a 30 second challenge to see how many strokes you can hit in this time.
