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.

The Controller
Most drills involve one person performing the exercise and the other placing the ball as required by the exercise. We call this person placing the ball the controller. When you are acting as the controller it is a great opportunity to practice your blocking and concentration. As blocking is an important part of the game you should be 100% focused at this time. You also owe it to your training partner to be blocking effectively so they get the most from their exercise.
