I have been playing Table Tennis for around 3 months and would like to improve my consistency. What training drills do you suggest?

Hi Charles,
Great that you have started to work on your skills. The best way to improve consistency is by getting out on the table and setting yourself some targets. The two key points to focus on are SOFTLY and STRAIGHT.
You can use the PingSkills Consistency Chart to assist you achieve your targets.

Taking Risks
It's important that you assess your opponent's skill level and your own skill level. Using this information you can then decide how much risk you need to put into your game. If your opponent is a lot more consistent than you, you may need to go for a bit more on each of your shots to try and force an error.
