Movement
Training
Virgil Birch-Abban Asked 7 years ago
Hi Alois,
After every shot I can't help but move back this is bad but it allows me to hit harder shots but if the rally goes on for long enough I have to lob, I have tried putting a barrier behind me whiles training and it helps a bit are there any other ways to help me stop this habit?

Hi Virgil,
The barrier is good but make sure you only leave it there for a short amount of time while training and then take it away and see how you go. If you are stepping back again, you can re-introduce the barrier. Keep putting it there and making it away otherwise you will become reliant on it in a math situation.

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!
