Learning Stages
 
Today, we want to show you the stages of learning a new skill. For illustrative purposes, we are going to use the backhand loop against backspin as an example for you today. This approach can be used for any stroke, such as pushing, flipping, looping, counter-looping, lobbing, chopping, smashing, and any other skill that you want to develop. Before beginning stage one, take a few minutes and assess your game for strengths, weaknesses, tendencies, and game patterns.
