Hi Chris,

Firstly it is to get as many hours on the table as you can.

Start with focusing on the basic strokes, The Forehand CounterhitThe Backhand CounterhitBackhand Push and Forehand Push.  Then work at mastering these strokes.  You should get to a stage where you can play 100 balls in a row without any effort at all.

From there learn to serve well, learn to move by learning the Footwork Basics and keep progressing.

If you become a Premium member we show you a 52 week training program and with each week we detail a master class on something that you can focus on. 

Remember it is a game that you can play for life and always keep improving.
