Hi, I currently have a table tennis table in my basement, and love to play on it. The problem is, no one EVER wants to play with me, so I am forced to hit against one side of the table. I can see a little improvement with how I am doing it, but I don't think I am doing it right.

Do you have any suggestions for how I can improve my game through playing by myself?

Hi Bradley,

Take a look at our lesson on Practicing Alone.  I think this will give you some ideas.

Ultimately you will need to play against other players to really take the next step but for now I hope this will help.

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.
