learning

Bjarki Unknown Asked 15 years ago

hi(again) im an advanced player and i have been teaching my friends a little and i was wondering which would you rather recomend for them to learn first when it comes to swings for example the forehand should they learn how to hit it hard first or how to aim at a specific place.

thanks in advance

Hi Bjarki,

Definitely get them to control the ball first.  Make sure they can hit the ball on the table 100 times before they start to hit the ball too hard.

Teach them the forehand counterhit and backhand counterhit then move on to the pushing and then topspin.
