solo training

Can you please give me some exercises that I can practise without a partner?

Thank you very much !

run and sprint, for improving your footwork and endurance.

shot imitations, that sounds a little ridiculous

Do many squats to help build power.  Also makes your legs springy.

Practice serves. Buy a bunch of cheap balls and serve to your hearts content.  At my job we have a table and while on night shift during my breaks I practice my serving. I will serve a 100 balls for each type of serve. Skipping is good for the legs.

You can do serve training..! but physical is very important..

Seems very nice

thanks for the vedios    its very good

I think if you have enough strength, footwork and technique down, something you can train is in balance. I can not tell you how often I see good players improve into really good players when they have balance and stability in their positioning.

How about using a cheap robot?

Gundam, hristo, & malvin are on point.  I use the Shadow style for coaching also as it helps players to envision themselves and breakdown the technique for problem solving and reinforcement of good skills.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DO some shadow play,

yeah squats are pretty good to improve your leg strength. Whenever you see Wang Liqin play, look at his stance when he plays forehands, his legs are HUGE!

Here is my secret, I create my own robot and partner with zero cost! How??? Just attach my wooden dining table to the wall, then I can serve, flick, third-ball attack, block, reloop...almost any thing. One important thing to notice is that generally the wall with its smooth surface will create anti-spin effect (e.g if you serve back spin, the ball bounces back with top spin) so it's very good if you need to improve your skills against pimples. Also, the ball comes back fast or slow depend on how you hit it, if you hit hard, it'll come back faster than you play against Malin!

I do use the same! but with moderate spin. Highspins will take the ball fly and it would not drop on the table.

Making returndboad youself

1. Take two large blocks of wood in rectangular shape .
2. Put a glue on both of them
3. Get your bad rubbers or collect from others . Get different types also maybe one small block of pimple rubber .
4. Paste them on the wood .
5. Get a Table .Even your dining table is fine .
6. Put a Screw on Wood . Coming Outwards.
7. Get a wooden stick with multiple holes which will allow to put the stick on the screw.
8. (This need some carpenter help) Get a Iron plank which you can attach to your dinning table , which will get fixed to the table , and will contain a tightner , and a screw .
9. Attach the wooden stick to the in a diagonal shape to the board , dinning table screw.
10. For the Middle (to hold both boards) use a Flat holder which will hold the other side of the board . The important thing is that holder should be around L shaped which will allow the both board to rest on it (it will not move backwards when a shot is hit).

11. For top spin keep the angle at 45 downwards to the table . For back spin , bring the board near the net and keep at 45 upwards . Change the angle using the wooden holes.
