Instructions
Step 1
Pick up inventory. Purchase a racket based on your arm length and hand size. Take it in your hands and check if you feel it as an extension of your hand. If you are new to the game, opt for a rigid racket with a single-layer rubber pad. In this case, you can only create a weak rotation. But it will be easier for you to accept and direct it. If you are continuing to master the sport and have already walked a few steps, go for the double layer overlay option. With such an inventory you can improve your skills. Buy a suitable ball. Consider parameters such as the brightness of its color, elasticity, uniformity of thickness. Pay attention to the seam with which it is glued. It should run equally in the center of the ball and be smooth. Otherwise, the ball will bounce incorrectly and fly not accurately.
Step 2
Warm up before playing. Join your hands in a lock behind your back, making the upper right and left hands alternately. Try to join your hands behind your back, placing your left palm on your left shoulder blade, and your right hand on the shoulder blade of the same name. Sit down ten times and jump several times.
Step 3
Practice using a vertical surface 4 meters away from you instead of an opponent. Exercise daily, gradually reducing the distance between you and the wall to 1 meter.
Step 4
Master the main stance for the game. From your starting position, you should be comfortable with receiving and directing the ball. For example, practice a neutral position in which the player expects the opponent to take action. You can also stand to the right or left, depending on which side you are waiting for the ball. Keep in mind that during the competition you will need to follow in a wide variety of directions. Steps are the main way to get around in ping pong. One-step and two-step methods are commonly used. In addition, you can use overshooting for turns in place, lunges for receiving slanting balls, and side steps.
Step 5
Use some tricks and techniques in the game. Remember that you need to take the correct starting position before hitting. Both the quality of the blow and the speed of your movements depend on the stance. The main position must be maintained when moving. Keep your center of gravity on your toes. Move it in the direction of impact. Return to the middle of the table after each hit. Don't take unnecessary fussy steps. You must move clearly and quickly.
