Seeing a coach
Training
Dakota Castleberg Asked 10 years ago
You and Jeff have helped me out a lot with your videos and all of your ask the coach questions, as well as your ask the coach show you do on a continual basis. It has helped me become quite passionate about this game. My question this time is regarding seeing a coach in person. I am wondering what benefits I can gain from seeing a coach in person, versus doing drills I have learned with someone at or above my skill level. Would it beneficial to have a coach critique my form and help and analyze my in game strategy? Are there other important benefits I could take away from seeing a coach?

Hi Dakota,
A personal coach can help by giving instant feedback on strokes and give you the ability to change things at the time. If you get the opportunity, take it.

Lobbing Tactics
If you get pushed back from the table don't just give up the point. Try and and get back into the rally. By lobbing the ball high and deep you give yourself time to get into position. If you can then get some topspin on the ball to force the smasher further away from the table then you are likely to get a weaker smash and then you can take your chance and try to counter attack!
