Consistency and Multi-ball
Training
Wasiq Khawar Asked 13 years ago
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.

Forehand and Backhand Topspin
The forehand and backhand topspin strokes are two of the most important strokes in table tennis. In lesson 6 you start playing these strokes first by getting someone to throw the ball to you. This makes it easier to get into the correct position and concentrate on the correct start and finish position, and the essential brushing contact. You can then progress to using this in a rally where your training partner learns to block the topspin back.
