Improving in table tennis requires a combination of focused practice, solid fundamentals, and mental toughness. Start by mastering basic strokes like the forehand counterhit and backhand push, and work on your footwork to improve your movement around the table. We recommend starting with our Basic Strokes Tutorials for step-by-step guides.
Consistency is key. Practice regularly and set specific goals. Try our 52-week training plan to steadily build your skills. You can also submit questions to our coaches if you need personalised advice.
Choosing the right bat depends on your skill level and playing style. For beginners, we recommend a bat that provides good control, like our PingSkills Rook, which balances control and spin, helping you develop your strokes. More advanced players might prefer a bat with greater speed and spin, like the PingSkills Touch.
If you’re not sure, watch our video guide on choosing a table tennis bat or reach out to us for personalised recommendations.
