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.

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!

 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.

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.

Hi Alois,

When I forehand smash I have a tendency to hit the ball over the table. Do you have any tips? I also would like to thank you for the very helpful videos.

Gabriel Beuzeville Posted 5 years ago

Dear Alois: when I work with a partner sometimes he use to put some sesping efect on his stroke but he didn’t notice it. That make me fail the direction I’m trying to put the ball. How can I handle? Because sometimes he stroke it that way and sometimes not and I’m not good enough to catch it on time. Thanks a lot in advance.

This is really helpful. Really useful advice of keep hitting the ball softly as that is something I would not do following the serve. Will practice this now. Thank you!
