Hi, I am a 13 year-old girl and I'm a beginner in table tennis. I only learned to play because we have it in our p.e. class. And now, our periodical exams will be beating our teacher in a 3 set game, how can I beat him? I only know forehand and backhand chop and block?

Hi Jane,
It is great that you are enjoying the game.
To beat your teacher you need to work out what his weakness is. Also think about just playing your best shots.
The main thing is to think about keeping to improve your skills by learning more of the strokes and getting the strokes you know even better. Look through the lessons on the Strokes & Techniques section.
