    BASIC SKILLS OF TABLE TENNIS

    Table Tennis Grip The table tennis grip is important


    because it controls the angle of the racket (paddle /
    bat) ... And the angle of the racket controls the height
    of the ball, the depth of the ball, the speed of the ball,
    the direction of the ball, the type of spin and the
    amount of spin.
    BASIC SKILLS OF TABLE TENNIS

    The backhand push is a defensive stroke using


    backspin to make it hard for your opponent to
    attack. By pushing short you really limit the
    options your opponent has to take the
    initiative.
    BASIC SKILLS OF TABLE TENNIS

    When executing the forehand push you


    need to impart some backspin. This makes
    it hard for your opponent to attack the ball.
    By pushing short, your opponent will not
    be able to take a full swing at the ball.
    BASIC SKILLS OF TABLE TENNIS

    The forehand topspin is one of the most


    fun strokes to play. And once you learn
    how to impart a strong topspin on the ball,
    it will become a very consistent stroke.
    BASIC SKILLS OF TABLE TENNIS

    The backhand topspin should be learnt at the same


    time as the forehand topspin. It is a great attacking
    stroke that can really improve your game. By being
    able to play such an aggressive shot from your
    backhand side, your opponent will find it difficult to
    stop you gaining the initiative.
    BASIC SKILLS OF TABLE TENNIS

    The backhand block is used against an attacking


    topspin. As your opponents shot will be fast, you
    won't need to make the pace yourself and so the
    stroke can be quite short. You will need to vary the
    angle of your racket depending on the amount of
    topspin on the ball.

    The forehand block is used against an attacking


    topspin. As your opponents shot will be fast, you

    need to vary the angle of your racket depending
    on the amount of topspin on the ball.
    BASIC SKILLS OF TABLE TENNIS

    The forehand smash is used as an attacking stroke to


    try and win the point. The most common mistake we
    see players make with the forehand smash, is failing
    to get themselves into position. The key to the
    smash is to get your feet moving early and get into a
    good position
    BASIC SKILLS OF TABLE TENNIS

    The table tennis serve is the most important


    stroke in the game because it provides the only
    situation in which you have total control over
    how and where you play the ball.
