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.
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!
