The most important skills

Tasos Thanou Asked 15 years ago

I would like to ask what are the most important skills in table tennis.

I have watched your video, but I can't understand it very well, because 

my english is not good enough.

                                            Thank you very much

Hi Tasos,

The most impotant skill that we refer to is the ability to get the ball on the table.  You need to develop your control first so that you have the feel and touch to be able to get the ball on the table easily.  I think too many players initially try to hit the ball too hard and never develop this important skill.  The best players in the world have all been through this grounding of developing this control first.
