What should I focus on after a long break?
Training
Ganesh Desai Asked 13 years ago
A player is very consistent having everyday practice but - When we do not play table tennis for a period of time for "say one month" and finally after one month without playing table tennis coming and playing on the table might be a little difficult task. At this stage, on what should we focus on? How to learn back the same strokes we were doing? Or is just a little wiggle which we can correct by ourselves? How?
Thank you,
Ganesh

Hi Ganesh,
After a break the thing I always stress is allowing yourself to adjust and get your feel back again. Just hit a lot of balls consistently. Allow yourself to feel the ball again. Once you have that you will find your strokes will all come back very naturally.
Don't rush it.

#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.
