Which strokes to learn now

Devvrat Singh Asked 12 years ago

Hi.I am Devvrat Singh.  I am 11 years old.I was taught TT at the age of 7  by my mom and dad.After I was 11 years old,I went to a TT training academy termed 'Sanjeev and Ankur's Academy of Table Tennis Training'.I already had an idea of what 'push' was.The training was of one month.In the academy I learnt 'topspin' and perfected my 'push'.After that training,I continuously played TT with some college students whom dad taught (some of the college students played really well).Now what should I do to improve my TT skills?

Thanks.

Hi Devvrat,

You are on the right track.  Well done.

The next things I would focus on are making sure your consistency on those strokes is getting better.  Try to get 50 topspins in a row without a mistake and try to do 100 pushes both forehand and backhand.  This will make sure your strokes are becoming proficient.

Then you can start to work on your topspin against a backspin ball and also work on your serves.

The main thing at your age is to keep working consistently on your game.  Keep enjoying what you are doing.  It is a great game that you have chosen.
