Long period training with return board
Training
Kevin Winata Asked 10 years ago
Hi Alois,
When I practicing table tennis only with a return board (no training partner) for a long time (maybe several weeks), I just practicing my topspins (forehand and backhand). We never use any backspin when we play a drill with a return board right?
So, should I train to serve (separately)? I mean can I keep the level of my serve just by practicing topspins without serving?
Thanks for your time Coach!

Hi Kevin,
The return board is good if you have nothing else. Practising your serve would be great for you. It is such an important part of the game.

In this session we introduce some random drills. A random drill is where you don't always know where the ball is going. Random drills are really important for your development as they are more game like. You need to be able to play your strokes well even when you don't know where the ball is going. We also continue to work on your new serve. This week we introduce a target into your service practice to help you gain even more control on your serve.

I don’t think this is possible. It is a big limitation of a return board.
