Where to start?
Strokes
Rohan Keogh Asked 8 years ago
Hi guys. Once I'm comfortable with the most important skill (keeping the ball on the table) what are the first strokes/shot I should develop and perfect? It is a drive, loop, block, what?
Cheers

Hi Rufuss,
We recommend going through the videos in the order they are presented in our Strokes & Techniques section.

Drop Shot off a Chop
When playing against a chopper, it is important to use the drop shot to break up your opponents rhythym. By forcing them to come close to the table, your next offensive storke will be more effective.

Thanks Jeff. I had a close look at the video list and the progression logic is clear. What level of consistency should I aim for in each stroke before introducing a new one?
You don't need a strict target, and sometimes it's good to try and sneak ahead a little bit but as a guide try to get 20 balls on in a row.
