Physical training

Adrian Hartanto Asked 12 years ago

hi alois,

so far i play table tennis, i never use speed glue or oil booster. i am playing well with my equipments. however, sometimes when i have topspin to topspin with my oppenent or topspin the heavy downspin ball the ball\'s just catch the net. is it because i didn't concentrate or i need more physical training?

i have jogging,sit up,back up,pick up burbles. i do the physical training when i didn't play table tennis at all.

would you tell me a good physical training for table tennis?

and i want to ask you,what are the tuned rubbers? what's the different between tuned and untuned?

Hi Adrian,

Firstly it is illegal to use speed glue and tune your rubbers so just focus on the playing and skills.

If the ball is going into the net on your topspin to topspin or against backspin, you can think about opening the angle of your bat a little more or making your stroke a bit more vertical.  This will lift the ball over the net.

Take a look at a couple of Blogs we have on Weight Training Specifically for Table Tennis and Strength Conditioning for Table Tennis.  These should give you some good ideas.
