Indoor Practise
Training
Robert Platt Asked 5 years ago
Given the Covid 19 virus outbreak here in the UK and I'm self isolating, can you please recommend some drills for indoors. I don't have a TT table and would appreciate some tips.
Thanks

Hi Robert,
We always say that every table is a table tennis table. You can do some bat ball skills for developing control but always think about using tables in the home to hit. You can push one up against the wall and hit the ball against the wall or practice your serve as well.
We made a tutorial a while ago that might help. Practicing Alone.
All the best with your isolation. I am also in isolation after returning from Europe!

Lobbing Tactics
If you get pushed back from the table don't just give up the point. Try and and get back into the rally. By lobbing the ball high and deep you give yourself time to get into position. If you can then get some topspin on the ball to force the smasher further away from the table then you are likely to get a weaker smash and then you can take your chance and try to counter attack!
