Hi, Alois and Jeff. Every time when I watch video in youtube about world champion table tennis, I saw that they are very easy to play with that standard, but in reality, it is very hard. When playing with a beginner, it is not easily. Maybe I always think every player know the topspin strokes or other. So, what is the difference between professional player and normal player.

Thanks

Hi Elvin,

I think one of the most important differences is how many balls they have hit and how hard they have trained.  There is no short cut to improvement and becoming that good.  It is developing good technique and then training a lot.

What should you do when you get forced back from the table? Should you just close your eyes and try and smash the ball back? Should you lob the ball back and try and stay in the point? This week in our master class we discuss your options and when to use the lob, chop or counter attack.
