In order to maximize your performance this year, I have laid out some guidelines. If you follow these steps, you will be able to full apply the information from the lessons, practice them regularly, and reap the benefits from your tournament results.
As before, here is what I recommend...
#1 Taking notes at the end of your lesson. Before leaving, pull out your notebook and jot down the main points that we discussed during your lesson.
Serve return is a major problem for most table tennis athletes. That is the reason that I decided to post this short video clip! Check out this brand new clip from my DVD, International Table Tennis Skills!
When hitting backhands, many table tennis players do a great job hitting to different locations. Because they are able to bend at the wrist, these players are easily able to contact the inside of the ball, the back of the ball, and the outside of the ball in order to hit to different locations.
Approximately 80% of the club players in the US admit that serve return is the weakest part of their game. There are so many different types of serves – backhand over the shoulder, backhand under the shoulder, forehand pendulum, forehand reverse pendulum, forehand hook, forehand tomahawk, backhand tomahawk, windshield wiper serves, and a much of serves that have no names.
Identify your nightmare serve. Next, spend time learning how to SERVE IT YOURSELF.

In the US, many tt players have limited training partners available. You must ask yourself the question before each session, “Which drills should I be doing with this particular training partner?”
