return board

i would like to know if it is a good idea to get a return board for alone practice at home. i already have a tt table but no opponents for practice.

Hi Nabeel,

I have used a return board once. I thought it worked well after I got used to hitting against it.

Of course it is not as good as having a partner but if that is your only option, then I would encourage it.

You can make them yourself if you are handy.

i have made 4 boards myself- 2 pimpled and 2 reverse rubber. you can get good quick rubbers from china on ebay cheaply and make them yourself for less than a £100. i found they really make you concentrate on hitting the table or you miss the board and the rallys over. i like them and they dont get tired !!!

Robots are a little dearer but i would get one of them. They really improve your consistency. Much more than a returnboard will
