Training
jurey emnacin Asked 11 years ago
HI!
I like playing doubles i have observe that there are a lot of backspin ball in doubles game... So I came up with a wall drill..
The main goal of the drill is to keep on topspinning the ball and keep it on your side of the table... So I want to know f i am on the right track to improve my topspin against a backspin ball...
Jurey!

Hi Jurey,
Well done. This can be a good way of practicing this skill. Eventually though you will need to also hit with other players more to get the variations and the subtle differences and also to be able to recognise the different movements your opponent is making.

#8 - Fast Footwork
In this session you'll focus on increasing the speed of your footwork. To do this we ask you to forget about consistency and concentrate on speed. You should be playing at a pace where you can get around 4 or 5 balls on the table. If you are getting 10 or 20 balls on then you need to up your pace again. It's important to play right to the edge of your ability to actually increase your skill level. We also continue to develop the new serve you have chosen to work on.

It is sooo bad that it is the one-way training :(
(you can train topspin off backspin but not chopping a topspin)
