Dear Coach,
I got a table tennis board today. I've been looking through the videos and had trouble deciding which one to learn first. This my first time playing table tennis. So I've decided to ask you.
Hi Abby,
I think the best place to start is the Strokes & Technique page. Work your way down the page and see what you are competent at. Having good basic strokes is really important.
Although attacking is the most popular style at the top level in Table Tennis, it is important to be able to defend well. If you choose to play a defensive style then you should be practicing these strokes all the time. If you play an attacking stroke then you should still try and find some time for these strokes. If you can win one extra point by defending well when pressured, it could make the difference between winning and losing.
