hi sir i am Yasir from Iraq my partner does not know how to play anything. He does not know how to do forehand topspin, backhand topspin, smash, block, and when he comes he just want to play a game. This is my problem.

Can you help and i am so sorry for my bad English because you know my real language is Arabic as usualĀ

Hi Yasir,

Your English is very good. Certainly a lot better than my Arabic. :)

This can be difficult. I would talk to your partner and see if you can get them interested in improving their game. Only if they are interested will they want to train to get better.

The other option is to try and find a table tennis club near you. This will provide you with a great environment to help you improve.

Forehand and Backhand Topspin

The forehand and backhand topspin strokes are two of the most important strokes in table tennis. In lesson 6 you start playing these strokes first by getting someone to throw the ball to you. This makes it easier to get into the correct position and concentrate on the correct start and finish position, and the essential brushing contact. You can then progress to using this in a rally where your training partner learns to block the topspin back.
