6 Stubborn Table Tennis Habits Losing You Matches And How to Fix Them!

The habits, drills and checks from this video, written out properly — The Complete Senior Table Tennis Library: https://meispinmasters.com/?v=stubbor... You already know some of your bad habits. So why do they come back at nine all? This video goes through six stubborn table tennis habits that cost older players matches: how each one looks, why it costs points, why it keeps coming back, and a short drill to work on it at a real club table. 1. Admiring your own shot (and how to come "home" after every ball). 2. The grip that tightens as the score gets close (give your grip a number). 3. Standing bolt upright (sit a little, without deep knee bends). 4. The hand going first (step, settle, hit). 5. Playing every ball at the same speed (two speeds: slow and medium). 6. Patching the old stroke (why a new stroke needs a new name). Plus a part for knees, shoulders and balance that are not what they were, and a grip exercise you can do tonight sitting at the kitchen table. Four books for table tennis players over sixty: Read the Spin (the serve return), Easy Spin (topspin without the effort), The Smart Serve (serves that win points standing still) and a fourth only in the complete Library.

Educational content: no particular rating, score or number of wins is promised, and nothing here is medical advice. If you have knee, back, shoulder, balance or heart problems, check with your doctor before changing how you play. Work within a comfortable range, and never lunge or jump for a ball you cannot reach safely. Which habit is yours?
