Forehand to backhand switch
Training

Hi Alois,
When I play I have trouble switching my forehand to a back hand if the ball is coming down to my backhand. Please advise a drill to work on this deficiency. Thank you
Abdullah

Hi Abdullah,
To improve this you can do a lot of switching drills in training. One simple one is to get your training partner to control the ball alternately to the two sides of the table and you switch from forehand to backhand.
Download a free copy of our Training Drills from the Free downloads section of our site. In there you will find a whole lot of drills that you can utilise. Look for the PingSkills drill and the Triple switch drill. These will also help.

The Controller
Most drills involve one person performing the exercise and the other placing the ball as required by the exercise. We call this person placing the ball the controller. When you are acting as the controller it is a great opportunity to practice your blocking and concentration. As blocking is an important part of the game you should be 100% focused at this time. You also owe it to your training partner to be blocking effectively so they get the most from their exercise.
