I play table tennis almost regularly and I am thinking about playing badminton about once a week as it might help me to move better in front of the table. I was wondering if it would hamper my table tennis game.

Hi Somjit,

I don't think it will hamper your game.  I think it will give you some aerobic fitness and also perhaps some more court awareness.

Give it a try and enjoy it all.

The Controller

Most drills involve one person performing the exercise and the other placing the ball as required by the exercise. We call this person placing the ball the controller. When you are acting as the controller it is a great opportunity to practice your blocking and concentration. As blocking is an important part of the game you should be 100% focused at this time. You also owe it to your training partner to be blocking effectively so they get the most from their exercise.
