How can I improve my skills
Strokes
Jane Guerrero Asked 12 years ago
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.

Anticipation
How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
