What is the best training program for beginners?
Alois Rosario Answered 14 years ago
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 Counterhit, The Backhand Counterhit, Backhand 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.

Beating Defenders
Against defenders you've generally got a bit more time to make your attack and so you can be more selective on which ball to target. Think about finding your opponent's weaker side and whether they prefer a faster ball coming towards them or a slower ball. Try different spins, speed and placement! Watch the video now to learn more great tips on how to beat a defender.
