Training
I got my new bat today.
How can I get used to play with my new bat?
I don't have a table tennis partner, so how can I get used to my new bat alone?
Hi Fredrik,
It is always exciting to get new equipment. The best way to get used to it is obviously to hit as much as you can.
Since you don't have a hitting partner, you could just hit the ball against the wall or up in the air. Take a look at our lesson on Practicing Alone. This may also give you some ideas.
Good luck with that new bat.
Against defenders you've generally got a bit more time to make your attack and so you can be more selective on which ball to target. Think about finding your opponent's weaker side and whether they prefer a faster ball coming towards them or a slower ball. Try different spins, speed and placement!
