The BEST Table Tennis FOOTWORK, Exercises - eBaTT | Tutorial #37

BEST Table Tennis FOOTWORK, Exercises - eBaTT | Tutorial #37
Footwork in Table tennis is possibly the most underrated element, not just in the game but also the perception from those that don't play the sport at a decent level.
In this video, we look into what makes footwork high level and some of the best exercises you can do at home or in the playing hall to elevate your game.
Tip no.1
First and possibly the most important aspect of having good footwork is knowing where the weight distribution should be on your feet. To enable fast and explosive sidestep movements our weight must be on the balls of our feet and not our toes. We must also have a good ready position loads the muscles with elastic energy, enabling us to move with greater force and efficiency.
A great way to develop both our ready position and staying on the balls of our feet is by standing on tennis balls. this is also great for our balance.
Tip no.2
A great exercise that can be developed at home our up against a wall, is throwing a tennis or table tennis ball in a similar fashion to our playing strokes. At the same time, we aim to move side to side while executing both throwing actions.
Tip. put something on the floor to give you a visual anchor, to see if you are truly moving your feet properly. Start slowly and work to increase the speed in your own time.
Tip no.3
Side movement entails three kinds of side steps; pure side, side forward, and side back. All three movements must be developed to enhance your strokes and fluent footwork.
Exercise, a great exercise that can be done anywhere using a ball, is throwing the ball side on and moving to catch it. throw the ball in the three side locations and this will help develop your side-stepping foundations.

I'm so glad I stumbled upon your channel a while back. After years of bad footwork I decided to fix it. After half a year of hardly any real table tennis training but daily footwork drills such as these sidesteps (because of personal reasons), I've actually increased a whole level in competition after 3 years of staying in the same league! Wouldn't have believed it if someone would have claimed that at the start.

[@raymondborror6996]

Excellent drills for improved footwork. Thank you very much!

i´m González, only lack me speedy

[@kevins3646]

As always ur tips r excellent. A very unique approach to learning footwork. What r ur thoughts on using rebound board for improving footwork and brushing the ball on forehand and backhand. I built one using my old rubbers and it seems to have helped me imensly.

[@ebatt8803]

Kevin s pleasure and thank you 🙏 I have never used a rebound board but I’ve seen a few use it and they seem to enjoy it. Naturally a human being is better or a robot but I think any ball play has and will have benefits

[@kevins3646]

@@ebatt8803 I do have a Newgy robot but it is NOT their top tier one , I find it too monotonous and at times boring. I use the rebound board in combination of the robot with a larger delay of say 5 secs and it helps me with practicing 3rd ball/4th ball attack. Agree nothing beats a inperson practice, however I use it to work on certain skills like loop against back spin

[@mathsis9963]

[@sten2246]

The saying (keep on your toes) actually has nothing to do with being on your toes. It is used exclusively to be ready. E.g. the enemy is approaching, KEEP ON YOUR TOES TO BE READY.

[@ebatt8803]

Correct it is used for that, yet it’s an incorrect working for your brain to trigger its. For example if I say don’t think of a red elephant. Most likely your brain will think of a red or at least an elephant. Meaning your brains triggers according to words not the meaning. Another example “is don’t miss” instead you should be saying get the ball on… Nevertheless I do understand what you’re saying and mean…

[@squash700]

Hi, I can hear steady banging at all hours coming from my neighbour's place. She told me to talk to you. Not happy.

[@ebatt8803]

Lol 😂 it’s true, it’s all my fault 🤦‍♂️ It’s for a good cause so find it in your heart to forgive 🤗🙌🏓

Footwork on carpet is nearly impossible. Hopefully your TT games are played on wood or concrete.

[@ebatt8803]

Lol love it, and very wise words. Luckily for me since covid I’ve moved house and have wooden floor to do footwork 👌🤗. I’m also blessed with my own full time tt centre that has Olympic flooring to play our beautiful sport and do some good footwork 🙌🏓

[@keileung5567]

my guess u r left handed

[@ebatt8803]

Good eyes 😉💪🏼🏓
