No improvements in footwork
Footwork
eugene lu Asked 9 years ago
Hi pingskills,
Haven't ask anything for a while. I'm having a holiday in Taiwan. Therefore haven't play table tennis for a week. Kind of miss the game......
I found out that my footwork has not improve at all. I've been doing a lot of footwork drills. Every time i train, I will do at least 3 kinds of footwork drills. My footwork is still very slow. footwork drills are very exhausting and when I start to get tired my footwork gets slower. My footwork almost never functions during a match. Even when doing random drills, my footwork is still acceptable. If it works when doing random drills where I don't know where the ball goes, it should also work during a match. Why isn't it working.

Hi Eugene,
In training now do more match drills where you focus on getting into position quickly after the serve or receive of serve. Also focus on your footwork or positioning for each shot you hit. This will start to then flow into your matches.
