Table tennis is a game that involves two or four players - and I absolutely freaking love playing it. One or two players stay on one side while the other one or two stays on the opposite side. It is a great Active Weekender activity.

The players hit a lightweight tennis ball back and forth with a table tennis bat.   Many people cannot have desires to play the game, but they cannot do it. Some try, but they don’t do it perfectly. The following are some of the tips to improve table tennis.

1. Understand the spin that is on the ball- For you to be better in this, it is crucial to observe the opponent's racket carefully especially when it comes in contact with the ball. In the case where the opponent racket is moving from low to high speed the type of spin will be topspin. Some other types of spines include backspin that involves racket moving from high to low speed, then right to left, left sidespin and left to right, right sidespin.

2. Make use of your own racket- It is essential if you get a personal racket to use it frequently. Different rackets give different feeling when used due to their different characteristics. Using your own racket will enable you to adapt and also take good care of it.

3. Ensure you keep all your returns low over the net- The advantage to this is that by passing your shots lower over the net, the opponent won’t be able to use a greater angle  to hit the ball. Therefore, the power of hitting is reduced.

4. Maintenance of a proper ready position- Being in ready position will enable you to move instantly to any direction that the ball is going to be directed. It is crucial especially when preparing to return the serves and also between the stocks.

5. Enroll for a table tennis club- It necessary for you to join a table tennis club in order to meet  with people having similar desires. Joining the club will enable you meet players of different levels. You can be able to get someone with the same ability as yourself and start playing together regularly. This will improve you playing skills by far.

6. Utilize the whole body during stroking of your forehand- You can rotate hips and your shoulders backwards especially during the backswing after that you forward into the ball then stroke your forehand. This will ensure that you hit the forehand harder. Mistake associated to forehand is when you decide to use only your arms when hitting the ball. This limits not only the power but also the consistency.

In conclusion, table tennis sport is a very interesting game especially when you understand how to play it. If you have not made your skills, you can do it to make it more attractive than before.
