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.

It is quite a natural reaction to try and tense all your muscles when you are trying to hit the ball as hard as you can but this won't lead to increased power. Watch this master class to learn the correct way to generate more speed in your strokes.
