What should I focus on after a long break?

Training

Ganesh Desai Asked 15 years ago

A player is very consistent having everyday practice but - When we do not play table tennis for a period of time for "say one month" and finally after one month without playing table tennis coming and playing on the table might be a little difficult task. At this stage, on what should we focus on? How to learn back the same strokes we were doing? Or is just a little wiggle which we can correct by ourselves? How?

Thank you,

Ganesh

Hi Ganesh,

After a break the thing I always stress is allowing yourself to adjust and get your feel back again. Just hit a lot of balls consistently. Allow yourself to feel the ball again. Once you have that you will find your strokes will all come back very naturally.

Don't rush it.

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!
