Smaller table for young players
Discussion
Rahul Mandrekar Asked 8 years ago
Hello
i have a seven year old boy who loves to play table tennis. I bought a joola mid size table for him as I don't have enough space for a full size table. Now I am worried that playing on a smaller table would negatively impact his game, thoughts?
Regards
Rahul

Hi Rahul,
It will be a good introduction to the game. It won't impact to start with, in fact it could help to develop control of the ball. It is also a little easier for children to develop control on the smaller table.

Tactics Against Penhold Players
When playing penhold players it is important to remember to first analyse your opponent as you would if they used any grip. What are their strengths and weaknesses? A common weakness of penhold players is their forehand block especially against a slow spinny topspin. Their backhand may be a weakness if they use the traditional style, or you may wish to explore the crossover point if they are using the reverse penhold backhand.
