I play table tennis almost regularly and I am thinking about playing badminton about once a week as it might help me to move better in front of the table. I was wondering if it would hamper my table tennis game.

Hi Somjit,

I don't think it will hamper your game.  I think it will give you some aerobic fitness and also perhaps some more court awareness.

Give it a try and enjoy it all.

#8 - Fast Footwork

In this session you'll focus on increasing the speed of your footwork. To do this we ask you to forget about consistency and concentrate on speed. You should be playing at a pace where you can get around 4 or 5 balls on the table. If you are getting 10 or 20 balls on then you need to up your pace again. It's important to play right to the edge of your ability to actually increase your skill level. We also continue to develop the new serve you have chosen to work on.
