Wrist and ankle weights
Training
Asad Jawa Asked 8 years ago
Hi Alois,
I have been thinking about using wrist and ankle weights to improve my reaction time, can you please guide me whether I should use them or not

Hi Asad,
They can be slightly useful but not something that I would recommend as they are placing a force in a different direction to what you want to train. The wrist weights are forcing the arm down whereas you want resistance in a backwards to forwards motion more.

#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.
