Untrainable partners

Evan Urbina Asked 13 years ago
How do I train with a partner if all he wants to do is play and I want to practice my strokes.
I also want to know how Itrain practice my strokes when he only wants to rally. He gets angry with me when I finish him off and starts to play like he doesn't care. Cand you help.
Thanks, Evan

Hi Evan,
You can't force someone to train properly. You can talk to him about the benefits of serious training and try to encourage him. The other option is to find another partner to train with.
It is also possible to do some practice during games though this is not ideal. For example you can try and work on a particular stroke and use it as much as possible.

#25 - Serving with Spin
You get plenty of opportunity to practice serving with spin in this week's training plan. We change the normal routine slightly by not having a dedicated serving time at the end of the session. Instead we focus on and practice the serve through most of the exercises. This is an important part of Table Tennis so put a lot of effort into this session.
