When reviewing the game of table tennis, it's incomplete if you don't review tips on how to win it. At least there are several ways to play table tennis for those of us who still want to increase our game level.

1. Body Position / Stance

When playing table tennis, we are advised to position the body slightly bent. Slightly lean our bodies forward to approach the table. With a position like this, we are more prepared and easier to return the ball or counterattack.

The correct body position/stance will help us move in the direction the ball is coming from. There are several body positions that are usually done by table tennis players.

First, our body is in the position of the table side (side). This position is more often used by players with an attacking character when they are about to attack their opponent.

Second, body position facing the net and taking the middle position. This position requires good positioning accuracy. In addition to body position, in this position you also need to pay attention to the right leg position. This is to make it easier for us to move. This position is often used by players with defensive characteristics, such as spot players.

Positions like this are more widely used for returning services that come or as blocking positions.

2. Pay attention to opposing players

The way to play table tennis that can increase your chances of getting points is to pay attention to your opponent. That means we should not only focus on the direction of the ball, but also on the movement of the opponent. By analyzing the opponent's movements, it is hoped that we can anticipate the ball well.

In addition, we can find gaps in our opponent's weaknesses that we can target to gain points. Not easy indeed, but we will get used to it after several times getting used to it.

3. Use a Comfortable Bet

One more thing that can support our game is the use of bets. Use bets that are suitable and comfortable in our hands. That way, we can serve and return the ball comfortably too.

We need to understand how to play table tennis correctly before playing it. Likewise with the rules for playing table tennis along with tips for those of us who are still beginners. Over time, these rules will always be remembered from the top of our heads and we are ready to win every game.
