How to INSTANTLY improve at table tennis

- There is one skill which I work on with every player I coach. It doesn’t matter what standard or whether the player is an attacker or defender. I give every player the same advice.
Focus on ball placement.
This is the simplest and quickest way for every player to instantly improve.
You don’t need to learn any new shots. You just need to improve where you put the ball.
With better ball placement, you put your opponent under much more pressure. You get weak balls back. You force errors. You hit outright winners. Table tennis becomes much easier to play.

Signed up for a tournament at school and doing some quick learning the night before, wish me luck.
Good luck! Go smash them.
How did you do
@@markottone We had a division for beginners, intermediates, and really experienced players. I put myself in the intermediate division (I've played tennis for about 15 years so I understood how to use a paddle and put spin and such). I ended up winning that division without losing once. Keeping the balls to the outside with some decent pace really helped me.
@@ericcimic nice bro
@@ericcimic u played for 15 years and put yourself in the intermediate section only......
Just watching this tutorial has improved my confidence. Can't wait to get to the table and start putting it to practice
Did it work??
@Zany Lightning after you bought the 350 dollar vr headset

Bro its summer here and we have table tennis but cant play it because of 🔥🔥
This is an important lesson. Our club's coach told us the exact same thing. To prove his point, he beat several of our club's players with his smartphone. Yeah, you read that right. Didn't play a single topspin, just placed the ball in the wide areas and kept us guessing on how to return them.
On that note: Something that wasn't shown in the footage, is the push into the wide areas forcing your opponent to move around the table. I've seen highly skilled players struggling to play proper returns once they were forced to move around the corner. It's an angle few are used to play from. Especially those with poor footwork to begin with.
May be your coach also watches his videos🤣😂
@@alianwar454 I sure wouldn't blame him :)

To be honest, a smartphone isn't that bad of a paddle. It fits well in your hand, and the smooth surface gives it a spin reversal effect similar to long pips. If you have a rubber case on it, you can actually get decent spin as well.
Tom I cant thank you enough! Just started Table tennis after almost 15 years of break. Your videos are simply awesome and inspiring.
Nice coaching Tom. I like the way you explain the techniques. It makes it quite interesting and fun way to learn. Thanks.
Absolutely amazing advices Tom. Thank you very much. Your videos have helped me a lot.
Very very good tipps! Thanks a lot for that! I will implement them in my game and in the youth training sessions! Keep it up!
Good points this is something that most coaches don't emphasize enough! Even though the ball may only go 5 or 6cm wider that makes so much difference. I was doing a drill with my coach and he was blocking he placed every ball right at the corner or end line and it was very difficult to play
Play it at 1.5x speed
Thank you Tom! Great job with all these tutorials. These are really helping me improve my game, day by day :)
It worked. I had been losing consistently to my sons and just aiming for those regions of the board helped (still losing but gaining traction!).
Thanks a lot for the useful tips sir. I have been playing for some years now without any formal training. I will put pointers into practice
Yeah I loved it 😍😍
Sir Tom this is very much helpful
My accuracy isn't that good but I became nearly intermediate from beginners with techniques. Played tt from very long but with techniques I improved within a month of regular practice with your videos and coach
Please make a video on chopping the ball
I am asking this from a long time
Please sir
Yh that could be a video I'll watch
Yes pls make a vid with chopping
Just watch Joo Sae-Hyuk in slow motion
Sharpen the bat.

Many thanks. just got back into table tennis after a long lay off. playing again as my Grandson has started to play... great tips that I will pass on
Excellent as usual Tom. Placememt is so easily a forgotten part of the game, especially when tou are in the middle of one!
You have very good lessons in your videos. Thank you.
Tom's videos have helped me a lot to learn the basics of TT. The explanation is very good and easy to follow.
Crazy nice dressing Tom ! They say in business the 3 keys : location/location/location.Thanks.
Amazing vid!
Thank you for sharing.
Best tips vid for table tennis i’ve seen in a while🏓💥
Thanks for this, was sort of doing something similar but now have a more thorough strategy.
Very good video - if not new to some of us, it's still a great reminder. And just remember, be ready, your opponent is doing the same!
Thank you very much Tom, very helpful tips and very effective..
Очень полезные рекомендации, особенно для начинающих теннисистов! Спасибо.
Excellent lesson. Thank you very much Tom. Ciao, Gaetano
Thanks for the video. Players often forget basics when trying to master more advanced shots.
Thank you Tom. I benefit your videos a lot.

Thanks coach
Thank you.
Thanks!
So, to summarize- to improve your game just be perfect !
Thank you
Great tip, i played for 4 years and was never teached this.
Hi Tom, I am a relative beginner; would you still recommend the Bribar flared, 2.0? Also, your lessons are the best, but I would love a one to one with a tutor, but there seem to be none near me in Portsmouth. Can you help?
good point but here is something to consider while doing this: why does timo boll for example plays into the middle of the table very often? its easier for yourself to start attacking because its harder for your opponent to place the ball far out of the table. for example: you place far in his backhand its almost impossible that you get a ball back far into your forehand but at the same time its easier for him to play a ball far out of the table on your backhand side. and for the middle: its more likely that your epponent doesnt play huge angles
Perfect
Thanks Tom! Great job! Looking forward for your next videos!
Wanna say really really tnx
Nice lesson! You're doing a good job
:) PS: echo cancellation goes a long way
Nice!
Thanks
Sound advice!
Thank wery much
Tom, what is your advice for developing that side-to-side hopping movement - (for seniors; don’t laugh)
thanks for sharing your knowledge Tom...
and a little thing to be improved is your echoing voice
A consequence of the table tennis hall design

Keep doing this we want more
I like your coaching
Hy Tom , return to basics is points in the bank. Suggestion : can you decorticate the basics of each successfull player , like for example just to name a few : Timo/Waldner/Ma Long ...i mean they all win but every one has a unique profile , some seems to work hard to achieve while others does it effortlessly (at least in appearance). Thanks for sharing.
It's a good idea. Maybe something I can look at in the future.
☝👍
Yes this is true, but placing the ball there is hard ... I will propably miss half my shots
Just practice and you can do it
@@tabletenniswithabp3468 I do practice my friend :) alot
Maybe more than half also
@@gerokatseros i think you should change the way you do it idk but it worked for me
Same
Hey Tom, I was wondering if you were going to upload more on your trip to Germany
I do have some more footage, but sadly it did not record as well as I would have liked. But I'm sure I will visit again in the future.
@@TomLodziak alright, thanks for all the great videos! One of the best TT channels right now
And it was instant. Lad 20 years younger I've never beaten. Beat him both games today. Cheers!! 😁
Hooray! Congratulations on the victory.
