Hi Vinesh,

This is not easy without a table. Hitting against a wall can be a little useful like we show you in the lesson on Practicing Alone. You can also stand in front of a mirror and do teh stroke and see that it looks correct.

Table Tennis ultimately needs a partner but you can develop some skills while practicing alone.

Long Returns

By throwing in some long returns you will keep your opponent off balance so when you do return the ball short they can't just be standing there waiting for it. But your long serve needs to be effective so they can't attack it too strongly. Watch this master class to find out all the important information about returning long.
