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.

One thing you can be sure of is that every top player will be able to keep the ball on the table with a solid block when under pressure. It seems that this is a pre-requisite to becoming a good player. That's why in this training session we focus on improving your block. If you can absorb your opponent's attack you will be in a good position to win a match against them.

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