Training
Thanks for that training sheet. I just have one more question, I don`t have a Table Tennis partner, and I`m thinking about buying a robot. how do you feel about training with a robot?
Hi Trey,
Robots are a good last option if you can't get a training partner. They are OK for repetitive hitting to learn strokes but they do not give you the cues that you get from another player hitting the ball to you.
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.
