Working on Reaction Alone

Training

Patrick Mooney Asked 13 years ago

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.

#32 - Effective Returns

In this training plan we put together all of the different returns we've learnt and focus on producing an effective return. You should be aiming to topspin all long serves and then weighing up your options on the short serve. A good short push is a great option but you also need some variation with either a flick or a long fast push. Go out and put this training plan into action and work on improving your return.
