Basic Skills of Table Tennis

Table Tennis Grip
 The table tennis grip is important because it controls the angle of the racket (paddle / bat).
And the angle of the racket controls the height of the ball, the depth of the ball, the speed
of the ball, the direction of the ball, the type of spin and the amount of spin.

Table Tennis Strokes

 The backhand push is a defensive stroke using backspin to make it hard for your opponent
to attack. By pushing short you really limit the options your opponent has to takethe
initiative.

 When executing the forehand push you need to impart some backspin. This makes it hard
for your opponent to attack the ball. By pushing short, your opponent will not be able to
take a full swing at the ball.

 The forehand topspin is one of the most fun strokes to play. And once you learn how to
impart a strong topspin on the ball, it will become a very consistent stroke.

 The backhand topspin should be learnt at the same time as the forehand topspin. It is a
great attacking stroke that can really improve your game. By being ableto play such an
aggressive shot from your backhand side, your opponent will find it difficult to stop you
gaining the initiative.

 The backhand block is used against an attacking topspin. As your opponents shot will be
fast, you won't need to make the pace yourself and so the stroke can be quite short. You
will need to vary the angle of your racket depending on the amount of topspin on the ball.

 The forehand block is used against an attacking topspin. As your opponents shot will be
fast, you won't need to make the pace yourself. You will need to vary the angle of your
racket depending on the amount of topspin on the ball.

 The forehand smash is used as an attacking stroke to try and win the point. The most
common mistake we see players make with the forehand smash, is failing to get
themselves into position. The key to the smash is to get your feet moving early and get into
a good position.

 The table tennis serve is the most important stroke in the game because it provides the
only situation in which you have total control over how and where you play the ball.

Table Tennis Equipment

 The Table - Official table tennis game tables are a rectangular surface 9 ft. (274
cm.) long and 5 ft. (152.5 cm.) wide. The playing surface is placed 2 ft. 6 in. (76 cm.)
above the ground. The table surface should be dark colored with a 3/4 inch (2 cm.) white
line running along each edge. The table should offer uniform bounce during the
game.

 The Ball - Table tennis ball is spherical and is 40mm in diameter. The ball is made of
celluloid or similar plastic material. It generally weighs 2.7 gm.
 The Net - Net is placed at the center, dividing the table in to two equal halves.
The net is placed 6 in. (15.25 cm.) above the playing surface.
 The Racket - Table tennis racquet should be flat and rigid. It can be any size, shape or
weight. Minimum 85% of blade thickness should constitute natural wood.

Rules for Playing Table Tennis

 Official table tennis games are played for 11 points. The team or player to score 11 points first is declared as
the winner. In case there is a tie for 10 points between the two teams / players then the side to first score a lead
of 2 points will be declared as winner.
 For every game the players alter the starting ends. Each side serves for 2 points then the serve switches to the
other side. After each tennis game the players are allowed a brief interval for about 1 minute and after every six
points scored the players are permitted a fleeting break for toweling. Take a look at few common errors in Table
Tennis:
 Allowing ball to bounce on your side more than one time
 Failing to hit the ball after it bounces on your side
 If the ball bounces on your side of the table after you have hit it

 If the ball does not bounce on the opponent's side after you hit (unless if the opponent hits the ball before it
bounces on his side)
 Hitting the ball in mid-air prior to the ball hitting your side of the table in the event you commit any of the above-
mentioned errors your opposite player will be awarded one point.
