Hi there coach,

I wanted to ask if what would happen if I am not able to play table tennis for one week. You see coach we are planning to have  a 6-day vacation on December, and I am very worried if what would happen to my strokes if I am not able to play for one week. What are some things that I can do in order to maintain my strokes without playing? And what should I do to recover my strokes after vacation as fast as possible? thanks in advance sir :)

Hi Wayne,

It's great to take a vacation and get away from table tennis completely for a short period of time. This will probably even have a positive impact on your game as you'll come back fresh and eager to play.

You won't forget any of the skills you have developed in a week.

Have a great vacation!

Perfecting the Push

This week's master class is called Perfecting the Push. To have a great push you need to first see how much backspin is on the ball as it is coming towards you. Then you need to alter your stroke to counter this backspin. You also need to concentrate on generating your own backspin to make it harder for you opponent.
