Strokes
D K Asked 10 years ago
Hello Alois,
today one little girl who saw me play asked me if I can teach her to play.
Although I am extremely weak player,I am still like a worldmaster compared to her,and I think my theoretic knowledge and in her case also my playing abilities are good enough to teach her for a while,so I am a little confused:what should I start with?
I know that we should continue like counterhit+the most basic spinless serve=>Bh chop serve+BH push=>FH loop etc. (or it is incorrect?)
But how should we focus on the current stroke?
what first?
footwork?
hand movement techinque?
or anything else?
Please,you are probably the best coach,please guide me

Hi DK,
Well done on taking on this task.
Go through the stroke we show in the Strokes & Techniques section. You can work your way down the page. Take plenty of time with each stroke though.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
