The Most Important Skill

it's easy when i train but it's difficult in a real game

When you train work on hitting the ball from anywhere and start to increase the speed a little each time so that eventually you will be at game pace and still getting a lot of balls on the table.

Hi Huzaifa,

We have a Serving Secrets lesson that will help you with all sorts of serves and spin.

is it same with pen hold grip

Yes it certainly is.

can you suggest me a vedio 

with pen hold grip

Hi Anuj,

Take a look at Penhold Techniques for Table Tennis.

beutifull vedio

Can you tell me when is safe and when is unsafe to hit a fast stroke

Wow cool I have just found a nice thing

Hi Chris,

If the ball is high, say around shoulder height then you can play the ball faster.  Use the topspin stroke to do this as it will add safety to the stroke.

Hey Alois,

 I have a table that can have one side folded up for training alone.

Will this work for a foldup table?

And can you please add any good effective ways to train on a foldup table?

Just wanted to say thanks in advance!

Hi Drew,

We do have a lesson on Practicing Alone which  will give you some ideas.

Still finding forehand topspin difficult to get right

Kehinde,

Have you looked at the lesson on the Forehand Topspin Against Block?

That is amazing, very simple and helpful.

Thanks Karaman.

Trent

Thanks Trent.

This video helps me a lot

 Glad to hear it Bernardo.  It is one of our most popular videos.

i can't see the videos

Hi Waleed,

What is happening when you try to play them?

when i load the page it says: This URLs or Page has been blocked.

That is strange Ariel. Is it only on this page? You were able to leave a comment though, was it only the video that did not load?

I can't see the video either

I think this must have been an intermittent problem with YouTube. The video is playing fine now.

 Hello coach Rosario and Mr. Plumb:  My thoughts on this video is that it is really good.  It seems like a simple task to just return the ball over the net to the other side of the table.  However, that is what the game basically is. 

This video should have been in the first week instead of week three.

i cant see any video please...........and please im actually a pen player but want to change my grip and im finding it vry difficult to

What is happening when you click on video?

hi coach Rosario and Mr Plumb

I want to learn how to do a float spin

Hi Aditya,

That is a no spin ball.  This will come later.  This lesson is just on developing control and keeping the ball on the table.

Is mk a good racket

What is MK?  I don't know it.

I dont know that. Myself 

Is butterfly better than Wilkerson400

I ment killerspin

Hi Deonarine,

it really is a personal preference. They are both good brands. Don't get too worried about equipment. Choose something good and then focus on improving your technique. That will have a big impact on your game!

hi coach !!

l want to know what are different teaching people play table tennis and like to play table tennis but not sure can teaching people ??

Hi Peter,

I am not exactly sure of your question, but if I read it right, good players don't necessarily make good teachers and weaker players can be very good teachers.

Thanks you coach for asking my question.

Yes,you got my meaning,you are absoluty get my point!

But l do not understand why weaker players can be very good teachers???

Sorry coach,My English are not well,can not express my idea to you in clearly.

Peter, someone who is a really good player could play well sometimes even without thinking about it.  Someone who may not be a strong player might be able to teach it better.  A weaker player is able to analyze what is happening better than a good player.  A strong player just plays discovers what he does well and what other players don't do particularly well.

In other sports star athletes often don't make good coaches.  They could play the game, but, are not able to give their unique skill to others.  Plus a star player often does not study the game the way a non elite player would.

Hi Peter,

I agree with Harlan.  Coaching is a lot to do with communication of ideas and understanding what is happening.

Hi coach, l want to know have any full time course for people to eroll ???

thanks a lot!!

Hi Peter,

We don't provide full time coaching but try to help players with the online videos and contact.

Coach ,may i know where can i find the downloaded videos

Hi Yap,

That really depends on the browser and operating system you are using. Often there will be a downloads folder where files are normally saved. Google the documentation regarding Downloads for the browser you are using and I'm sure you'll find the answer you are looking for.

Thanks 

Hi coach,

       I have been playing table tennis for two months. Bet when my opponent attacks with a speedy counter hit . I cannot see it and can't get the ball on the table.so please tell me which stroke or technique I should learn first. To attack back my opponent.

Thank you

Try to use the block.  If you don't have time then a short stroke like the block is best.

Thanks a lot 

Hi Saksham,

I would trust your coach.  That sounds like a reasonable combination.

Nice

Hi Alois,

I am an amateur player and I was looking for a website to learn Table Tennis, and I found PingSkills! This website is great, the videos are even better with clear explanations. This website is helping me a lot.

Thanks

This video is very good.  Where I play now I have a lot of players who really don't play that come to me and ask if I could play table tennis with them.  The first thing I try to show them is hitting the ball on the table.  This guy who is just starting to play, about 12 years old, asked me what the most important thing was in table tennis.  I informed him it was to get the ball back on the table.  He had a lot of pride when he was able to do it ten consecutive times.

Brilliant.  Thanks Harlan.

respect sir, 

u told us to keep your bat flat at 90 degree angle and hit the boll flat but in the whole video you kept your bat slightly tilted inside.why? 

so we are supposed to keep our bat tilted or flat? 

Because i tried to play with my bat little tilted but i was not able to make a correct hit.abd qith flat surface the ball bounces too high after getting deflected from bat. 

pease help me how to make a proper stroke in tt. 

thank you. 

The angle of your bat depends on the speed and spin on the ball.  The more speed or topspin the more you can tilt your bat forward.  At the basic level keep your bat very flat.

cool

Also I hit my ball off a wall so do i count that

Yes that is all learning control.

Great set of basic techniques, clearly explained and well executed. Thank you.

Thanks Brian.

 great work this videos helps me a lot

can u please make video of the ma long backspin serve

Thanks Chetan.  The Ma Long serve is a Pendulum serve that we cover in our Serving Secrets section.  Look for the video on the Pendulum Serve.

It was a useful video.Can you make a video on snake serve?

Wet have just made anything similar as part of our Serving Videos which will be available soon.

I'm so excited to have stumbled upon this great site! :D

We are happy that you have found us too.  Hope you learn lots...
