Drills for practicing twiddling

Wanda LaLoggia Asked 9 years ago

Do you have any drills that can be used to practice twiddling?

Alois Rosario Answered 9 years ago

Hi Wanda,

You can do a simple drill where your partner hits the ball to both sides alternately and you can try to hit the ball with the same side of your racket on both sides. You could then switch and use the other side of the racket.

The next progression would be to get them to hit the ball to one side for say 3 or 4 balls and then switch randomly to the other side and you have to hit the ball with the same side of the racket.

Then you can get them to hit the ball anywhere on the table and you need to use the same side all the time.

Do you enjoy watching great Table Tennis rallies where one player is smashing and the other is lobbing? Of course you do, everyone loves that. In Table Tennis if you can win a point when lobbing then it will really play with your opponents mind. It's really a 2 point turnaround from 1 they should have won to 1 you actually won. In this session we give you plenty of practice to improve your lobbing skills.

Thanks Alois... I'll try that! I've wanted to incorporate twiddling into my game, but wondered if I should wait until I get a little better or try to start learning it now. I'll give it a try.
