Which training is better?

Jin Kazama Asked 13 years ago
Hey guys,
Sometimes I have no one to play with. So instead I practice my serves with some balls, pick them up and just keep repeating. It gets boring sometimes so I tried making a practice up.
Instead of serving, I bounced the ball on the table and tried variety of strokes (Hookshot, Smash, Chop, Flick, etc. most of them I learned in your vids).
Since you guys are really good coaches, I was hoping for your opinion in this? Will this actually help me? Should I stick to practicing my serves?

Hi Jin,
Both practice methods will help. I think that the serving practice will be more beneficial as it is more reflective of a real match situation.
The hitting of shots could also be done using a return board or hitting against a wall.

Lobbing Tactics
If you get pushed back from the table don't just give up the point. Try and and get back into the rally. By lobbing the ball high and deep you give yourself time to get into position. If you can then get some topspin on the ball to force the smasher further away from the table then you are likely to get a weaker smash and then you can take your chance and try to counter attack!
