Traning or Practice

Training

Hi Coach,

I have been playing for my school for a weeks now, so every time I have a home game it takes about 1 hour until the other team arrives. We use that hour to warm-up and have a hit. Also what I mean by practice is just having a hit and what I mean by training is muti-ball and hitting the ball in particular patterns. I have teammates who would not mind training not practicing. So which is better to do before a game?  

Thanks, Matt

Hi Matt,

It is probably best to start with some consistent hitting.  Then practice your serves and then you can play some practice matches.

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!
