Training
amith bhandari Asked 13 years ago
What's the diffrence between the match drill and the other? And how to practice for my backhand stroke and footwork. And coming to the match, how to build the confidence in the match?

Hi Amith,
A match drill is one that starts with a serve and tries to emulate a situation in a match.
A training drill is usually aimed at improving footwork. It involves a set of strokes that are linked. We can have 2, 3, 4 or more set strokes involved in a drill.
We have a free download of drills. They are in the Free Downloads page.
You will find that if you practice a lot of match drills you will start to get used to different situations that you will face in a match. This will develop your confidence.

Lobbing Tactics
If you get pushed back from the table don't just give up the point. Try and and get back into the rally. By lobbing the ball high and deep you give yourself time to get into position. If you can then get some topspin on the ball to force the smasher further away from the table then you are likely to get a weaker smash and then you can take your chance and try to counter attack!
