How can I set up my mind for a serious tournament or game and practice drills at home if I don't have a ping pong table?

Are there any proven-to-work drills and exercises I can do at home?

HI Alexander,

The best thing of course is to have a table but here are some drills that you can do if you don't have a table.  See our lesson on Practicing Alone in the Training Secrets course of lessons.

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!
