Strokes
I started playing table tennis about 1.5 years ago. At the begining, by looking at the other players i started playing a lot of chop shots. As a result of which now my playing style has become totally based on chops which makes it impossible for me to play proper forehand shots or hit a forehand smash or even do a top-spin serve. How can I change my playing style so that I am able to play forehand instead of just chops. I really appreciate the advise as this style is causing problems for me.
I use the model Timo Ball 1000.
Hi Muhammad,
I would go back and work on the Forehand Counterhit, Backhand Counterhit and then the Forehand Topspin Against Block and Backhand Topspin Against Block. You need to develop confidence in the attacking strokes first and then start to introduce them into some game play.
It will take a while to get the feel and confidence in the strokes but if you persevere you will be able to change your game and play more of an attacking style.
A snake shot is a type of stroke which is specifically used against a drop shot. It is usually loaded with a heavy spin so that the opponent finds it difficult to counter. The type of spin can be backspin, sidespin or topspin depending on your choice. You need to make a movement after hitting the ball to confuse your opponent.
