Training & Competition Ratio
Training
Esi Darap Asked 8 years ago
Hi coach, I am a social player trying to get serious into tt. I am fortunate to have a few tt clubs around my house, which together have lots of training sessions and competitions. I am able to play about 2-3 sessions (2 hours per session) per week. In your opinion, what is the right balance between training and competition?
e.g. 70% training 30% competition, 50% training 50% competition

Hi Esi,
The percentages will depend on what stage of development you are at. If you are really close to playing a big competition, then you should increase the amount of games that you play. If you are trying to develop your skills then focus more on training.

Forehand and Backhand Topspin
The forehand and backhand topspin strokes are two of the most important strokes in table tennis. In lesson 6 you start playing these strokes first by getting someone to throw the ball to you. This makes it easier to get into the correct position and concentrate on the correct start and finish position, and the essential brushing contact. You can then progress to using this in a rally where your training partner learns to block the topspin back.
