Training
Hello Alois and Jeff,
What drills can you do to improve consistency? ( especially with backhand and forehand topspins)
Also, my practice partner is not very good so how could I train with him?
Hi Wasiq,
The best thing to improve consistency is to play slowly and try to get as many balls on the table as possible in a row. But first it is important to get the technique correct. If you get good technique then you will also give yourself the best chance of making the stroke correctly and on the table more.
If your practice partner isn't as good, then Multi-ball is a good option. We will be making a lesson on Multi-ball and how to do it shortly. It is where you have a bucket of balls and your partner feeds them out to you one at a time. They don't need to be able to keep up with your hitting to be able to give you a good amount of practice.
In this session we talk about the length of your placement. Often we think that we need to always hit the ball deeper and faster however sometimes playing a shorter ball during a rally can catch your opponent off guard. If this happens to you, you need to ensure you are able to move forward and deal with the shorter ball.
