Training
Hi there!
I've been playing a lot of table tennis the last couple of months here at home and really want to get better. I was wondering if it was a good idea to purchase a robot to practise different strokes if I'm alone at home. Do you guys have an opinion about robots?
greetings

Hi Pieterjan,
They can be god if you don't have someone to practice with. They are good at a basic level to learn the strokes.
Take a look at the Blog we have on Table Tennis Robots
which we did a few years ago and also a piece by one of our readers on Learning Table Tennis with a robot.
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.
