Practice without a table

Hello sir,
I live in a area which does not have a table to practice. Can you give me a exercise to practice without a table?
Thanks

Hi Devang,
Take a look at our lesson on Practicing Alone which will give you some ideas.

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!

I didn't have a table for most of the beginning of this year, and I did find shadow play and hitting the ball on the floor/walls to be semi-helpful in terms of just getting the feeling down and getting more comfortable with how the ball felt on the paddle.
