I have been playing since i was 7. I train 4 hours a day 2 days a week if school is open. When school is closed, i play 3 hours a day 6 days a week. I love playing table tennis and it is my passion. Unfortunately, our country doesn't really have the best sport record. However, i want to become a professional table tennis player and change that. I am dedicated to training and i am willing to work hard. I don't know how else to explain it so i m sorry for the language. So can you please tell me some tips to become a true professional table tennis player.

Hi Kaung,

What you are currently doing is good.  Keep training hard and play some tournaments as well.

It takes a long time to make a champion.  At least 10 years of hard consistent training.  If you can keep it up for that long you will see how good you can get.

Lobbing Tactics

If you get pushed back from the table don't just give up the point. Try and and get back into the rally. By lobbing the ball high and deep you give yourself time to get into position. If you can then get some topspin on the ball to force the smasher further away from the table then you are likely to get a weaker smash and then you can take your chance and try to counter attack!
