Practicing Alone

Training

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.

#8 - Fast Footwork

In this session you'll focus on increasing the speed of your footwork. To do this we ask you to forget about consistency and concentrate on speed. You should be playing at a pace where you can get around 4 or 5 balls on the table. If you are getting 10 or 20 balls on then you need to up your pace again. It's important to play right to the edge of your ability to actually increase your skill level. We also continue to develop the new serve you have chosen to work on.
