Working on Reaction Alone

Training

Dear Alois,

I have absolutely nobody in my family interested in table tennis and I don't have advanced equipment such as 100 table tennis balls. With this in mind, how could I work on my reaction when rallying against my opponent alone?

Thank you

Hi Patrick,

You can get them to hit the ball anywhere on the table while you hit back to one spot so that they can hit the ball faster and test out your reactions.

It's important to take the initiative in a rally. My old coach used to call this forcing the pace. To get better at forcing the pace, we are going to consciously go for more power on our third ball shots. We may miss a few more balls but that is part of our development.
