How to INSTANTLY improve at table tennis

Спорт

There is one skill which I work on with every player I coach. It doesn’t matter what standard or whether the player is an attacker or defender. I give every player the same advice.
Focus on ball placement.
This is the simplest and quickest way for every player to instantly improve.
You don’t need to learn any new shots. You just need to improve where you put the ball.
With better ball placement, you put your opponent under much more pressure. You get weak balls back. You force errors. You hit outright winners. Table tennis becomes much easier to play.

    @@markottone We had a division for beginners, intermediates, and really experienced players. I put myself in the intermediate division (I've played tennis for about 15 years so I understood how to use a paddle and put spin and such). I ended up winning that division without losing once. Keeping the balls to the outside with some decent pace really helped me.

    This is an important lesson. Our club's coach told us the exact same thing. To prove his point, he beat several of our club's players with his smartphone. Yeah, you read that right. Didn't play a single topspin, just placed the ball in the wide areas and kept us guessing on how to return them. On that note: Something that wasn't shown in the footage, is the push into the wide areas forcing your opponent to move around the table. I've seen highly skilled players struggling to play proper returns once they were forced to move around the corner. It's an angle few are used to play from. Especially those with poor footwork to begin with.

    To be honest, a smartphone isn't that bad of a paddle. It fits well in your hand, and the smooth surface gives it a spin reversal effect similar to long pips. If you have a rubber case on it, you can actually get decent spin as well.

    Good points this is something that most coaches don't emphasize enough! Even though the ball may only go 5 or 6cm wider that makes so much difference. I was doing a drill with my coach and he was blocking he placed every ball right at the corner or end line and it was very difficult to play

    good point but here is something to consider while doing this: why does timo boll for example plays into the middle of the table very often? its easier for yourself to start attacking because its harder for your opponent to place the ball far out of the table. for example: you place far in his backhand its almost impossible that you get a ball back far into your forehand but at the same time its easier for him to play a ball far out of the table on your backhand side. and for the middle: its more likely that your epponent doesnt play huge angles

    My placement is my biggest issue. I can’t for the life of me make the ball go where I want it, unless it’s a serve. Yet I win most games I play at work just by chopping and a good forehand smash.
