Hey guys, I thought it would be fun to start a thread on what areas/aspects of ur game you are working on right now..........including what drills u are doing too!!
Who knows we may also end up learning something from each other's posts!
Anyways lemme start first!!
1) Integrating backhand looping with the rest of my game.
2) Footwork (and recovery).
3) Shortening my strokes.
Eager to hear from the rest of you......

I have been working on service return, increasing counter-looping consistency and my foot-work starting near table, to mid distance and back in again.
Its been so cold at home that I've had trouble getting any of my practice partners to come by. So I have been drilling with the robot for the past week. My drills for service return and counter-looping are pretty obvious. The footwork exercise I the robot to a 3 ball drill, starting close to the net with a flick, increasing robot speed to a counter hit, then increasing speed again to hit deeper on the table allowing me to step back to mid distance for a loop. Then the robot speed lowers and the sequence starts over again. |

1. taking my time between point. Taking my time before serving (take a few seconds from ready to serve position and throwing the ball) and receiving (by slowly getting back to receive position). This has help my game a lot.
2. Add one step back after serving and receiving. I use to stay very close to the table, Now I try to add the distance by moving back one step after serving and receiving. When the ball goes long, I will take another step back and prepare the next shot. Give me more time to hit or receive the ball in the beginning of a rally. Also help me tremendously.. In short, what I've been working is trying to fix some bad habits. I tend to rush my shots, Adding a few milisecond between my shots seems to get me to play better...

forehand loop, forehand loop, forehand loop, and more forehand loop.
Biggest part of my game has to be my forehand loop. I used to use my backhand counter and backhand loop to win most of my points. now i realize that without an explosive forehand, i cannot win games against high rated players. Footwork is also another key thing im working on, but that kind of goes with my FH loop. A great drill that im working on and seen many of my really talented friends do is 2 backhand counters (on ur bh side), then two fh loops (on ur bh side), one forehand loop on the opposite corner (which would now be ur fh side) and then back again. I'm not gonna stop practicing this until i can repeat this cycle a good 9-10 times without missing consistently. this is a great drill for footwork and all around play

-footwork/recovery
-leg conditioning/strength training -abs/obliques -lower back training -strategies/anticipation -patience -Most importantly, playing with a goal The last one is more important to me because i catch myself all the time playing for the hell of it. No strategy, no care whether i win or lose. But now i focus on areas i need to work on before warmup and before the game itself. so far i have improved on my footwork in 2 weeks. Got at least one game from my teammates ranked WAAAAY higher than me.

@ dragonkid:
Hey this had been a major problem with my game too..............
1) taking time between points is so damn important....... somethin i never used to do...... but a coupla losses in close matches against opponents whom i could ve beaten easily made me realise this.
2)And moving back after service/receiving/ moving back after the first loop was a big prob for me too....... but ve finally got over that too......it was more of a mental control thing.But seriously after getting over these small hassles the improvement in my game is totally unbelievable......
cheers!

@MrSmash: service returns have been discussed in the forum on various occassions...... anyways, here are some tips that might help: 1)first always learn to read what kind of spin the incoming ball has.......once u r able to do this 50% problem solved 2)And then know which spin will go in which direction after hitting ur paddle...... and learn to control the incoming spin by playin it in the opposite direction. 3)one golden rule i always used to follow when i was havin difficulty with service returns was to always receive the serve very slowly when ur facing heavy spin.......... For example when u r receiving a heavy sidespin forehand pendulum serve, place ur bat such that u are aiming at the opponents forehand corner and then importantly dont do anythin(reach to the ball but dont move ur bat from thereon) .....let the ball come hit ur bat.....u ll be surprised to see how easily u r able to land the ball!! this way the spin is negated(well not entirelybut pretty much..) Once u r able to do this and land the ball (mostly understand the feel) then u can easily learn how to manipulate the servers spin & how to loop/drive heavy serves. Hope this helps!! PS : whatever i ve said is imo..... |

Mainly chopping and developing a better defensive strategy through focusing down my serves. Also perfecting the aggressive long pips push and forehand service receiving on very short serves, gotten lazy or something, or people have noticed that I favor my backhand for receiving serves and stand a little further back even at start due to defending.

Footwork, Footwork, Footwork.
Bread and butter drill is a BH counter hit, FH loop from BH corner then FH top spin down the line from the FH corner. I'm basically pretending like I'm a penholder but I use shakehand. Coach says my footwork needs to improve a lot more. |
