What to do when I can't play
Training
Wayne Sy Asked 13 years ago
Hi there coach, I want to ask something. You see sir, when I am not able to play table tennis for a long time then suddenly I went to the table and play, I don't feel like playing the same sport. I know that its because I was not able to play for a long time. Is there any way how I can retain the mood or feel when I am playing table tennis even if I am not able to play for a period of time? What quick exercises should I do within that period of time when I am not playing? thanks in advance..

Hi Wayne,
You can try some of the ideas that we have in our lesson on Practicing Alone.
You can also think about watching some videos of the best players and some of the lesson on our site. This will keep your mind on the game in those periods that you can't play.

Switching Between Forehand and Backhand
Playing forehand and backhand strokes individually in practice is an important step in your development but to use them effectively in a game situation you must be able to switch between them. This sounds like a simple step but it's something you must practice. Lesson 10 focuses on ensuring you can quickly switch between your backhand and forehand table tennis strokes.
