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.

Forehand and Backhand Topspin

The forehand and backhand topspin strokes are two of the most important strokes in table tennis. In lesson 6 you start playing these strokes first by getting someone to throw the ball to you. This makes it easier to get into the correct position and concentrate on the correct start and finish position, and the essential brushing contact. You can then progress to using this in a rally where your training partner learns to block the topspin back.
