After doing a lot of table tennis training, iv managed to master the fundamentals. Now I want to increase the speed and control of my strokes and I want to start on my muscles. What muscles should I start to build?

Hi Andre,

For speed the most important muscle are the legs.  This is where you get your speed and also your balance to push off.

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!
