Traning or Practice

Training

Hi Coach,

I have been playing for my school for a weeks now, so every time I have a home game it takes about 1 hour until the other team arrives. We use that hour to warm-up and have a hit. Also what I mean by practice is just having a hit and what I mean by training is muti-ball and hitting the ball in particular patterns. I have teammates who would not mind training not practicing. So which is better to do before a game?  

Thanks, Matt

Hi Matt,

It is probably best to start with some consistent hitting.  Then practice your serves and then you can play some practice matches.

#8 - Fast Footwork

In this session you'll focus on increasing the speed of your footwork. To do this we ask you to forget about consistency and concentrate on speed. You should be playing at a pace where you can get around 4 or 5 balls on the table. If you are getting 10 or 20 balls on then you need to up your pace again. It's important to play right to the edge of your ability to actually increase your skill level. We also continue to develop the new serve you have chosen to work on.
