Practicing Alone

Training

Dan Kerrigan Asked 15 years ago

Hello

I have seen the video on your channel about practicing alone and I was wondering what are some ways to practice by yourself if you have a table tennis table. In the video, you mainly addressed ways to practice if you do not have a table. Are they basically the same, or are there different methods. I have practiced serves alone and I have put half of the table up and used it just to hit around. Are there any other ways?

Hi Dan,

I think serving is probably the best thing to work on if you have a table but no partner.

I have used a return board. This is an interesting option as well. I found it useful once I got used to hitting to hit.

The other thing is to train someone to be able to feed multi ball to you. They don't have to be too skilled at hitting but will be able to give good training.

#33 - Defending with the Block

One thing you can be sure of is that every top player will be able to keep the ball on the table with a solid block when under pressure. It seems that this is a pre-requisite to becoming a good player. That's why in this training session we focus on improving your block. If you can absorb your opponent's attack you will be in a good position to win a match against them.
