What to do when I can't play
Training
Wayne Sy Asked 14 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.

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.
