Tips to Help You Improve Your Table Tennis Game

Whether you are new to table tennis or ping pong consider yourself to be an advanced player, there are always ways to improve your game. Here is a list of some table tennis tips that can help you do just that.

First, try to mix up your serves by using different lengths and spins. If you are always serving the ball the exact same way, your opponent will eventually catch on and know exactly how to respond. By switching it up occasionally from medium-long, short, deep, down-the-line, pure speed, pure spin serves, then it will keep your opponent guessing in how he should respond.

Another suggestion on a rather long list of tips is to make sure your eyes and attention are focused squarely on your opponent’s racket when he is serving. It is easy to want to “keep your eye on the ball”, but this can lead to trouble, as the person serving can easily deceive you with how high he is tossing the ball. Watching the racket will give a better idea of how is he going to hit the ball. Also, change up how you are returning the ball when being served from time to time. Many people allow their opponent to begin the offense by trying to push too often. By switching up your returns from loops, pushes, drives, and chops will not only give you some variety, but will also keep your opponent on his toes.
