How to train hand speed in table tennis

 


By Kasmono Monex, a fan of healthy living



Table tennis is a sport that prioritizes agility and speed in moving. Hands and feet are the most fundamental parts of the body that support the game to be more lively and varied.

The ping pong ball's small size and fast speed requires players to move faster than the ball's speed. Late a fraction of a second the ball will not be reached by our hands. So what are the tips for increasing the reflexes/speed of movement of our hands?

The speed with which our hands move towards the ball target requires a process that is not instantaneous. Hand movement speed can be increased with a variety of routine exercises. Honing reflexes with a multiball or stroke program with a practicing partner is the best thing to do. You can also practice shadows using weights/ iron bats so that later the hands feel lighter when actually playing, thus the hands become more agile in movement.

The strength and agility of the feet and hands are very dominant in supporting the game, because it will greatly affect the fast movement to support the accuracy of the shot. A good stance will affect field control, while the speed of hand movement will make it easier to anticipate the arrival of the ball, so we can hit the ball quickly and with good accuracy. There are many other factors that must be trained besides the game itself so that performance in playing is getting better.



Healthy spirit and greetings 🏓
