Not getting bored while slow practice
Training
Pasquale Mule Asked 10 years ago
Hi Alois,
I have been practicing my slow topspin and i found a way to not get bored, and i was wondering if i do 10000 slow forehand topspin's in a week or more, or a bit less can make my stroke consistent enough to start generating speed? Could this be okay to practice with? and if its ok can i do less or you suggest more? Also could this be good on my backhand topspin as well?
Thanks for reading!

Hi Pasquale,
That is a really good idea. It will give you something to aim towards for the week. You certainly could do this for the backhand as well. You can do it with anything you want to focus on.
Let me know how it goes.

Hi Alois, the first day was today and I have mastered 1004 balls, the stroke is not completely consistent but i had a lot of confidence so i have played with an opponent and i tried to maximize the speed of the stroke (I Know i shouldn't of had done that but its to see how i go) but it didn't go so well, some balls didn't dip fast, some didn't have topspin, some went too forward, but i realized i wasn't doing the same movement, and i was doing multiball by my self which the ball didn't have forward momentum coming to me and i was just focusing on counting how many balls got on the table. So i will keep doing this practice if you think its a good idea, but how can i focus on making the same type of movement without changing? because while i was playing with the opponent some movement weren't the same, well most of them, and i don't have the confidence of doing the same thing, how can focus making the same movement?
Hi Pasquale,
This is something that will come with more practice. Keep going. You have done well to do the 1000 balls already. Well done.
