training program for beginners

what is the best way to improve the abilities and game for beginner players? in the less time possible?

improve their backhand chop and their ability to keep the ball in the table?

Hi Maiio,

The best way to start with is to develop consistency by working at hitting as many balls on the table as possible.  There is no substitute for hitting the ball.

The more hours you can put in the better you will get.  There is no simpler formula.

Make sure you don't try to hit the ball too hard and just hit the ball as straight as you can.  This will develop your consistency and confidence.
