Dear Alois and Jeff

i think that I am an advanced player but the trouble is that i don't have a partner to play with all the time. I do have a table that folds and currently, I lift one side up and practice against that. However I don't think that my level is improving with that. Could you please give me some tips that I could use?

Hi Adam,

Take a look at our lesson on Practicing Alone.  This will give you some ideas.

However there is no substitute to a good training session with a partner.  See if you can find a club in the area or a group of people that like to train.  This will help you a lot.

Beating Defenders

Against defenders you've generally got a bit more time to make your attack and so you can be more selective on which ball to target. Think about finding your opponent's weaker side and whether they prefer a faster ball coming towards them or a slower ball. Try different spins, speed and placement! Watch the video now to learn more great tips on how to beat a defender.
