Height of Table for children

Equipment

Paul Senior Asked 14 years ago

Hello Coach

I am able to vary the height of my table tennis table. I know the standard height is 76 cm, but is it a good idea to lower the table for my 8 year old so that it's at the same relative height an adult would be playing?

Regards

Paul

Hi Paul,

That is a great idea. It will help him to develop his strokes properly rather than having his elbow up above his head to play his shots.

It is a concept we try with younger students by using their classroom desks to play rather than a Table Tennis table.

Let me know how it goes for him.

Tone is in Your Fingers

There's is an old saying about guitar playing - tone is in your fingers. And If you've ever seen a really good guitarist play an old guitar then you'll understand how true that saying is. I know we go on a lot about this topic but it is so true. Once you've got yourself a decent bat, it's no longer up to the equipment, it's up to YOU!
