When to move up in drills

Training

Been just starting to do some dedicated drilling sessions with a practice partner, but we're still at the point where our placement is a bit sloppy and the ball falls out of play fairly often. Would it be worthwhile to add in some mixed drills (e.g. like the X drill where one player hits down the line and the other hits diagonally), or should we focus on the basics until we're both fairly accurate?

Hi Mark,

I would stay with the set drills for a little while till you get more comfortable placing the ball accurately.  Then you an move on to the Xs and Hs drill or more random drills.

Forehand Followup

Once you've played a topspin off a backspin ball, the next forehand topspin can prove very difficult. I often see people hitting the followup forehand off the end of the table. Watch this master class to see why I think this happens and how to adjust so you can make an effective forehand followup!
