GAME TACTICS

Table tennis, the challenge sport par excellence, requires skill and precision.

The objective of the player must be to break the rally, that is, to win the point by making the opponent unable to put the ball back on the table.

To achieve this, we are going to give you some tips that will help you make a difference.

MOVEMENTS:

It is rare that when playing, the ball always goes to the same place on the table.

To play in good condition and be effective, you need to move quickly from side to side or at least be quick with the paddle.

To achieve this, you can use two types of displacements:

 - Lateral movements (from left to right)

 - Depth displacements (front to back)

HOW TO TAKE THE SHOVEL:

The way you hold the handle of the shovel and how you position your fingers is essential.

If you grip the blade well, you can increase the sensations and hit the forehand and backhand with ease.

This is the starting point of every game. Serving is the only shot where you have to bounce the ball off your side first before it passes the net.

As you progress in your learning, you will see that the grip can be a fearsome weapon.

HIT THE BALL

CARRY THE BALL

It is the most elementary action with the ball. The objective is to control the ball and also to become familiar with the sensations produced by the contact of the ball on the paddle. This action will allow you to increase the rally with your opponent.

USE PROFESSIONAL RACKETS

It is most important for players to use professional table tennis rackets to increase their speed, control, and skills in the tournament and beat their opponent in any competitive match. 

PUNCH THE BALL

Action that consists of increasing the force with the shovel to hit the ball.

The objective is to learn to speed up the game and discover new sensations produced by the rhythm variations.

RUBBING THE BALL OR GETTING HIT

This action on the ball is the one that most characterizes table tennis.

It allows you to give more or less spin to the ball.

Well-controlled, this ability will advance you enormously.

CUSHION THE BALL

Measure the force with which the paddle will come into contact with the ball.

The goal is that with proper action on the ball you can maintain control of its trajectory.
