Training about Controlling the Ball
Training
Jeffrey Sandoval Asked 14 years ago
What can I do about improving my Control and Placement of the Ball. I don't have that good control and placement and if I will improve it, I can take the ball properly to my opponent's weak spots.
What can I do to Practice my Control? And most of the times I don't have Practice Partner, but we have a Table.
Thanks in Advance,
Jeffrey.

Hi Jeffrey,
When you do get a chance to train with a partner, focus on consistency of your strokes. This will develop control. Work at getting many balls on the table rather than trying to hit the ball too fast. You can use a consistency chart to record how many its you can get on in a row without a mistake. You can do this for a whole range of strokes, starting with the forehand and backhand counterhit.
If you don't have a partner you can do a lot of drills that we show you in our lesson on Practicing Alone. A lot of these drills will help to develop control of the ball as well.

Hello Coach, Thanks for the Fast Reply, I Think I really need to use the Consistency Chart now. If I can improve my Control, I think I'll improve a lot.
