Hi guys, is there any advantage to practicing with 38 mm balls? Our HOA where I play bought a bunch not knowing. Or will it really mess you up?

Hi Mark,

I don't think there is any real advantage in training with the smaller ball.  I think because Table Tennis is so specific with its skills you should practice with the appropriate equipment mainly.

As a novelty or to increase awareness you could train with them sometimes but only on an odd occasion.

#26 - Serving with Placement

Just by placing your serve better, you'll be able to win more points. Think about what happens when a good server plays you. What positions do they serve to that you find difficult. Try serving to similar positions yourself. We give you plenty of time to practice serving with placement in this week's training session.
