However, there are ways of improving your game without getting a coach. All it takes is a few tips. The following tips will help you on the quest of beating everyone you know-
1. Good shoes- you need to be comfortable to move around in. So no high heels or football boots! The shoes will ensure that you can move across the table and concentrate on the game properly. Also the shoes would need good grip. This will stop you from sliding away from the table.
2. Gripping the bat- there are different ways of holding the bat e.g. the pen grip, shake hands grip and the seemiller grip. Try out all of these grips and try out which one is the most comfortable for you. Then you can play a range of shots and beat your opponent well
3. Practice- like any sport, if you practice you get better; you can practice your serves and your accuracy by hitting the ball into a bucket. To practice a rally, you can push your table tennis up to a wall and practice your rally against the wall
4. Keep your cool- If you’re on a run of losing points, keep cool and be patient. Try to find out why your losing and try a different approach. If at first you don’t succeed try again
5. Mix up your table tennis tactics- its best to mix up your range of shots; this stops you from becoming a predictable opponent. It’s best to use a variety of serves, different return lengths and different amount of spin. This would make you a difficult player for your opponent
Using these tips will surely increase your table tennis game up to another level. Make sue that you keep your cool, keep practicing and keep to these tips
