Table tennis is a sport that requires relaxation of both the muscles and the mind. Tension will only adversely affect the game.
Remember, the ping pong ball is very light and the ball always spins at its speed. If we tense up with a tight grip and a hard, stiff hit, we will stop the ball from moving through the air. Before playing, relax your body muscles and grip your hands with sufficient stretching. The ping pong ball only needs to be hit with a light touch, whether the ball is moving directly towards us or we have to chase it first.
Besides requiring relaxed body muscles, we also have to keep the mind from getting tense.
If we lose control of our emotions, we will easily hand over the victory of the game to our opponent.
If we don't manage to return several punches in a row, don't get angry/emotional, keep your emotions under control and respond with counterattacks. Don't give up until the game is over.
In table tennis, the direction of play can be reversed very suddenly. Keep playing concentrated, aggressive and persistent.
Towards the end of the game, let's not be passive and expect the opponent to make a mistake, this is the time to take the initiative and earn it!
If we are forced to rush by our opponent, don't let the ball hit the floor without trying to swing our bet. Try to reach every ball that comes no matter how difficult our position is, because every point is very valuable. A chop or lob is not a bad choice if that's the only option. Constantly trying to return the ball out of our reach, which will help us make quick steps or good reflexes. Our opponents will get discouraged and think that their best shot can be returned, and they will believe that no point is free.
Healthy spirit and greetings 🏓
