5 MOST ESSENTIAL POINTS IN YOUR INITIAL STAGE OF PLAYING TABLE TENNIS

 

so here are the top 5 most essential points as follows:

  1. A ball hitting the center of the Racket - At the initial level, it's very important to always hit the ball at the center of the racket which will increase the feel of the racket and the contact of the ball on the racket. while doing this practice it's not to see the ball hitting the racket at the center, one can easily feel the ball at the center of the racket even when you close the eyes              
  2. The angle of the Racket - The angle of the racket is very important at an early stage, it gets a little tough to understand whats the proper angle for a particular ball as it's tough to read the ball and see the rotation of the ball at the start so once you start playing the basic strokes at a proper angle than easily you can develop advance shots. advance shots are nothing other than a good base   
  3. Timing of the Ball - Every particular ball needs to hit at a particular time it goes the same with angle once your timing is improved in table tennis advanced shots are too simple to play 
  4. Body Position (placing of your hands, elbow, knee, leg, etc). - I would recommend all the players who want to start playing table tennis to join a coaching center instead of investing in the equipment. If you start table tennis with good body positions and actions you will go far in the game. If anyone wants to develop the game (actions) through himself he should have a good breathing technique which I have covered in another post.
  5. Playing the strokes effectively and effortlessly ( means any drill you can easily play 100 balls on the table) - At the base level of the game, one needs to only focus on keeping as many balls on the table instead of winning the game by playing too aggressive or showing the power and speed to the opponent. if he develops to play in rhythm and with a good technique he will naturally understand the game in a much better manner and will eventually lead to winning the game.

Importance of Warm up in Table Tennis

  Certainly! Warm-up is a crucial component of any physical activity, including table tennis. Here are several reasons why warming up is important before playing table tennis: Increased Blood Flow: Warming up increases blood flow to the muscles, delivering oxygen and nutrients. This helps prepare the muscles for the demands of table tennis, reducing the risk of injuries. Improved Muscle Elasticity: A proper warm-up enhances muscle flexibility and elasticity. This is essential for the quick and dynamic movements involved in table tennis, such as rapid changes in direction and fast swings Joint Lubrication: Warming up stimulates the production of synovial fluid, which lubricates the joints. This helps to reduce friction between joint surfaces, making movements smoother and decreasing the chances of joint injuries. Enhanced Reaction Time: A warm-up increases nerve conduction speed and improves the responsiveness of muscles. This is crucial in table tennis, where quick reflexes and rap...

  " Ping pong" and "table tennis" are often used interchangeably, but there are some subtle differences between the two terms, both in terms of the sport itself and how they are perceived: Sport and Game: Table Tennis: This is the official name of the sport recognized by international governing bodies such as the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF). It is a competitive sport played by athletes at various levels, from amateur to professional, and is governed by specific rules and regulations.
