I have been playing Table Tennis for around 3 months and would like to improve my consistency. What training drills do you suggest?

Hi Charles,
Great that you have started to work on your skills. The best way to improve consistency is by getting out on the table and setting yourself some targets. The two key points to focus on are SOFTLY and STRAIGHT.
You can use the PingSkills Consistency Chart to assist you achieve your targets.
If you need any other information also check out our Most Important Skill Lesson in the Lessons section of our site.
Happy hitting!

#8 - Fast Footwork
In this session you'll focus on increasing the speed of your footwork. To do this we ask you to forget about consistency and concentrate on speed. You should be playing at a pace where you can get around 4 or 5 balls on the table. If you are getting 10 or 20 balls on then you need to up your pace again. It's important to play right to the edge of your ability to actually increase your skill level. We also continue to develop the new serve you have chosen to work on.
