It is better if you know the basic types of strokes in table tennis, but this is not required

Description

This course is about:* The grip: correct orientation of the racket in the hand and the fingers on the blade and rubbers, the level of relaxation while holding the racket.* The stance: the features of the player`s stance and its relation to the width and length of the table, as well as the rotation angle of the body to the table.* The key point for the stroke is the next stroke: how the «at this moment» stroke depends on the previous stroke and affects the next one.* No weak spots* A ball on a stretchable string: mental connection of the ball and the racket into one system* Breathing* Relaxation* The rhythm of table tennis* The fundamental difference between forehand and backhand strokes* Work of legs* The flight height of the ball over the net* Four principles of working with the ball at the moment of hitting with the racket: the optimal point of hitting the ball relative to the trajectory of its flight, the optimal relative position of the ball and the player's body, the optimal contact point of the ball on the rubber, the contact point on the ball* Watch the ball* Four first actions of a player in each point draw* Basic directions of the strokes* Mental visualization in table tennis
