This is ridiculous. As long as you're facing across the width that way, place a half-height 'net' down the length of the table and play (4 per table) with slowish racquets. That way you're doing something remotely resembling reactions in quasi-rallying contexts, but forcing to track, move, and stroke in very fast cycles, and tremendous density-of-practice. btw, physiological reaction times have nothing to do with real-world TT reaction _realization._ Desmond Douglas had the fastest near-table skills of his English peers, in his day, but was actually _measured_ to have the slowest of them all in a training test. * _____ * His skills are not related to the practice outlined in ¶1, incidentally; it was just a by-the-way. It just worked for me (and I'll venture to argue that it worked for me, because it _works_ ).
Hi, thanks for your comment. Part one I like the training idea to play over short distances with varying raquets which is like using mini tables to create shorter reaction circumstances. And yes, maybe in these situations there can be a higher transfer from this exercise to the overall performance at the real table. But in my opinion this is because you mix the training goals anticipation and reaction. Maybe Desmond Douglas had an ability to anticipate that is above average. This anticipation process is an other kognitive skill than the reaction process which is the topic in this video/exercise. In these exercises its only about the physiological reaction times and the pathways of electrical impulse transfer and processing that can be improved. This is measurable and biology, so it can be improved to a certain extend with training. But i agree with you, that is debatable how much transfer there is to the real table tennis performance becaus anticipation and reaction processes happen at the same time during table tennis play, so it is hard to say how much influence each ability has. In summary i recommend to practice anticipation on the one hand, reaction on the other hand and both together like in this video: th-cam.com/video/TqiNtQM7JWo/w-d-xo.html
Hi, the training goal and why these exercises are usefull are explained in this video. Further it is explained how the reaction process works, which is the objective of these exercises. The repeated application of these exercises cause adaptations in the structures that underly the reaction process from perception of the ears and eyes to the muscle movement at the end of the reaction process. In addition these exercises are the last part of a warm up routine before players go at the table and play the first balls....

The drills look ridiculous and pointless.
