Whether you're a complete beginner or have been playing for a while, following these simple tips will help you to take your game to the next level. So let's get started!
To master the important skill of table tennis, carefully observe your opponent's racket when it hits the ball. You can tell the type of spin by watching the direction their racket is moving:
Each action, depending on it being a long or short spin, can determine your next move when countering your opponent's move. In the next point, we will learn how to do so.
After mastering observation, you now know what kind of spin your opponent is executing. What now? The obvious answer would be to learn how to counter it.
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. When you first start learning table tennis, it can be tough to get all the strokes down. But with a little bit of practice, you'll soon be able to do them without thinking about it. That's when you'll have achieved muscle memory or if you watch Dragon Ball like me, Ultra Instinct! Jokes aside, having muscle memory of the fundamentals is the key to becoming a great table tennis player.
TIMTOWTDI. Any idea what this means? In programming language, this means "There is more than one way to do it". The meaning is pretty straightforward but definitely true. More often than not, we learn the best things through others. This goes the same for sports. Get out there and play more with other players!
