Experimenting to improve

Table tennis is a very repetitive sport where improvements are gained through mastering techniques and skills, however often when players are willing to experiment this can also help players discover and unlock new shots that perhaps you hadn’t realised were possible. Experimenting with your training drills, your contact, timing and even the way you approach matches can be an effective way of getting a better understanding of your game and building in new skills which you didn’t use before or have enough confidence with. This also helps add fun and enjoyment to your practice which is a vital part of improvement, it’s easy to get stuck in routines doing the same drills or shot’s and lack variety and fun in training sessions.
