Hi Alois and Jeff,

My current problem right now is playing experience. Their are no clubs, coaches or playing areas near my house. My training partner is my family's sort of a worker of our family business.The truth is, I only taught him some of the strokes used for training (e.g. Block, Push ,Multiball etc) Sort of a robot feeder like the professional players do. Since no one in our family does know how to play, is it a good idea to turn my partner to a full time TT player to have matches with? I really need advice since I only intended to have him do drills with me not become full time because he works 12 hours a day at our family business.

Some of my relatives played seriously back in the day. I plan on inviting them in some of my session for practice matches since their is no clubs, coaches or playing areas available near my house.

What are other ways to gain as much as playing experience other than the ones I said above?

Hi Carlo,

What you are doing is good.  Multi-ball is the most effective way of geting someone up to the standard to enable you to practice.

Trryting to train them to get good enough to play with you is a much longer process.

PingSkills will be doing either a DVD or an Online Lesson on Multi-ball.  It is a very effective way to train especially in your circumstances.

I already found a video on Multiball on Youtube. My partner already knows how to continously feed balls. It will be alsonice if you guys could do a video too.
