basic table tennis skills
First things first: Stance and footwork
FEET
- A player should need quite a wide base when playing table tennis.
- Somewhere between 1.5 or more shoulders width apart
- This will provide a more stable base and a quick side-to-side movement of
your feet.
- Have your non-dominant or non-playing foot slightly forward that your
dominant foot. (For example: a right handed person, their left foot should be
slightly in front of their right and the opposite of that for a left-handed.
Right foot is slightly further in front than the left foot.)
ANKLES AND KNEES
- Always keep your knees and ankle slightly bent.
- This will keep your body flexible and ready to move forward or
backwards as often as it needs.
- Don't bend your knees too much.
- Ensure that your knees are not bent in a squatting position as well.
- All you need to do is bend your knees and ankles a little.
BACK AND SHOULDERS
- When playing table tennis your body should be crouched.
- Your upper body slightly bent at the waist.
- Head and shoulders are forward and slightly down.
- It would be easier to move/spring around if you adopt this forward-leaning
"crouched position" which will prevent you from "squat position" and shift
your weights onto your toes (ball of your feet).
- As you play your shots, this crouched forward position should prevent you
from straying away from the table.
ARMS
- Arms should be in front of your body, forearms parallel with the
ground.
- This makes it more simpler to play your shots and assists with the
crouching/leaning forward position.
- With elbows and paddle in front of your body.
- Lastly, for balance, majority of the players aim keep their free arm
parallel to their playing arm.
HOLDING THE PADDLE
- Your grip, or the way you hold the bat, will determine exactly where your
hands and arms will be in your stance.
- In table tennis, the shakehand grip and the penhold grip are the two
fundamental grips.
The "shakehand" grip is a traditional European grip where the racket head faces
up and your hand appears to be extended in readiness to shake someone's hand.
- The penhold grip, which originated in Asia, is used to hold the racket with the
head looking downward and is similar to how one would hold a pen or pencil.
