Practice partner

Cam Suino Asked 11 years ago

Hello,

I recently found a great table tennis coach in my area and take lessons once a week. I really want to become better and your videos have helped more than anything. I want to practice at home however, but it is hard by myself. I tried having a family member help yesterday with some multiball practice like you guys do in your videos. How do you teach someone to hit balls back and forth continuously like that?

Thanks!

Hi Cam,

It is great you are working with a coach.

At home the multi ball can really help.

A few pointers for feeding multi-ball.

• Only hold a few balls in your hand at a time to start with.
• Bounce the ball in front of you and then hit it while it is still quite low.
• Hit the ball in an even rhythm.
• Hit the ball when the other ball is just bouncing on the table.

It will take a little bit of practice but it is worth the effort.  It is a great way to train if you don't have a training partner.
