Training

Are you practicing the right things?

 
 
 
 
In the US, many tt players have limited training partners available.  You must ask yourself the question before each session, “Which drills should I be doing with this particular training partner?”
 

Push the Limits!

Read the article and watch the VIDEO!

When doing drills with a training partner, choose drills that are game-like as well as drills that push your limits. If you are doing a basic backhand to backhand rally for one hour per day and averaging 50-100 balls each rally, then you probably aren’t pushing the limits.

Romans 3

Romans 3:20   Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

Story Time!

Learn about Fred's weakest moment!

 
 
 
 
Story #1
Fred dominated the match against Bob with a 3-0 win:  11-2, 11-8, 11-6.  In the last few points of the third game, Bob didn’t even try because he didn’t have an answer for Fred’s dominant forehand smash.  It was just so powerful that Fred hit winners about 80% of the time.  Bob’s only hope was when Fred missed.
