I always have this fear of colliding with my partner in doubles.  Many people in my club have the same problem.  How do you not fear about colliding? And will you make a video about this?

Hi Jasper,

Try to work out a method of moving.  You can either move around your partner or move side to side and out of the way.

We have a tutorial on this called Doubles Strategy in our Doubles Tactics section.

Best Doubles Tips in Table Tennis

In this video, we share 2 essential tips that can instantly improve your doubles play whether you're just starting out or already competing in matches.

🏓 Tip 1: Learn why playing more shots down the line helps your partner stay in position and how a well-timed cross-court attack can still surprise your opponents.
🏓 Tip 2: Discover the power of serving short and close to the centre line to reduce your opponents’ attacking options and give your team the advantage.

These small adjustments can make a big difference in your coordination, positioning, and success as a doubles pair.
