Strokes
How to learn ping pong fast as a beginner? Can a beginner learn spins?
Hi Othniel,
The most important thing to start with is to learn the basic strokes. Take a look through our Strokes & Technique page. This will list for you the strokes that you should progress through.
Some of them will involve spin. Initially though don't focus on spin, focus on getting the basic strokes correct.
Once you've mastered the start and finish position of the forehand topspin, you can start to focus on finer details. In this video we talk about the position of your legs, weight transfer, varying the finish position, incorporating footwork, the use of your wrist, and the angle of your bat for the stroke.
