The study of table tennis requires a long accumulation of skills and cannot be rushed. First of all, we must establish a good action framework, if the framework action is not established, it is easy to blindly play the action deformation, because the frame determines the height of the rise, if the frame is wrong, the space for the back to rise is very small.
Be sure to establish the framework of the front and back, otherwise if there is a technical loophole in any of them, then the actual battle will leave regrets. Because the current table tennis technology emphasizes the balance of the forehand and the backhand, it cannot be seen that the forehand and backhand have obvious weaknesses.
So, to what extent can you play a game after practicing the basic skills? My answer is after mastering offensive techniques, control techniques and defensive techniques.
- Offensive technique: forehand and backhand attack, forehand pulling the ball
- Control technology: forehand and backhand rubbing
- Defensive Technique: Forehand and backhand defense
It only makes sense to play after mastering these techniques.
With the basic skills, we need to consider how to use these techniques, and if these basic skills are not available, what is the point of blindly playing the game? Blindly practicing is not really efficient.
As the saying goes, "Practicing martial arts without practicing martial arts, when you are old, you will not practice martial arts, just like a rudderless ship." Basic skills training and actual combat should be combined.
From training to actual combat, there will be many problems, and the attack in training will be crackled, and it will not be used in the game. Why is there such a big difference between training and actual combat? Why is there a disconnect between training and actual combat? I think there are two reasons.
01 The rhythm of training and competition is not the same
The five elements of table tennis technology: strength, speed, arc, rotation, and landing point, the five elements in our training are relatively stable, and the five elements in actual combat need to be recombined.
For example, the practice of forehand attack, which is a swing strength, table tennis speed, arc, rotation, landing point are relatively stable basic skills training, if in the next round I send the ball to the position of the practitioner's backhand, at this time, the table tennis landing point changes, and then in the next round I send the ball to the main trainer's forehand position, so repeatedly, so that the formation of the forehand two-point attack practice, in this exercise, the five elements of table tennis in addition to the change in the landing point, other elements are basically stable. For example, isn't pushing and blocking the relay force push a process in which the other four elements are basically stable except for the change in the swing force?
In the practice of the ball, keep the five elements unchanged, if you practice well, you have to change one of the five elements, you can derive countless practice methods, and then a little more complicated, change the two elements of the five elements, there will be a variety of combinations, each combination will also have countless changes, so there will be countless practice methods, gradually change the elements of the five elements ... In the end, all five elements have changed, you should know what the situation is, right? Yes, all five elements have changed, which is a practical process! Therefore, why golfers who are accustomed to practicing the ball often feel very uncomfortable when they first touch the game, it is because the five elements are different from usual training.
02The training content is disconnected from the actual combat
It is mainly reflected in two points: first, the training content is mostly a single exercise, there is no combination of training; second, the training starts from the back three boards, and there is no connection between the first three boards. Because in the training, most of the upper spinning ball practice, unlike the normal game hair and the lower spinning ball, the first three boards of training are too little, the game is naturally not adaptable, and it is not possible to play the stalemate stage and have lost points.
So how to achieve the perfect connection between training and actual combat, I have 4 points of thinking.
(1) The training content is changed from a single item to a combination. After mastering a single technique, it is necessary to practice technical combination and articulation diligently, for example, I used to focus on practicing forehand spin, and now the training content is to pull a board down the spin of the forehand, and then carry out the pendulum speed of the indefinite point, and carry out the combination of the front and back hands, be sure to start from the first three boards, and then go to the back three boards to hold.
(2) In-depth research and practice of catching the ball. A good start is half of the success, if you can't even catch the opponent's ball, or catch the quality is not high, the other side is on hand, then it is very passive, but also affects their own mentality in the game, so the first step in actual combat is to be able to catch the opponent's ball, through my recent actual combat, if you don't eat the opponent's ball, control the opponent's rush, hit the stalemate stage My winning rate is still relatively high. If you can't catch the opponent's ball, you will be very passive, which will affect your own mentality.
Practicing catching the ball requires a combination of theory and practice, such as figuring out the characteristics of various rotations, so as to better catch the ball. At the same time, it requires a lot of actual combat and adapts to various ways of receiving the ball. In terms of serving, you must have your own routine, formulate a serving strategy according to your own strengths, and then practice the routine well, such as the front and back of the hand after the serve, and the technical connection after the rush, or the strategy after stealing. Under the premise of being able to catch the opponent's ball, if your routine can score, you will be in an advantageous position.
(3) Establish your own technical style. If you can play from the serve to the holding stage, then this time is the big competition of basic skills. If you want to play a good match, you must determine your own technical style, fast attack or arc-based, at present my positioning is fast attack combined with arc ball play, in addition to the front and back of the hand after the rotation up, the other use of fast attack technology, forehand to highlight the strength, backhand to highlight the landing point and speed, backhand for the forehand to create scoring opportunities.
(4) There must be a large number of actual battles. Learn actual combat in actual combat, because a large number of actual battles can improve the ability to adapt, in order to become a master of actual combat, we must work hard and accumulate rich experience.
(5) Form a subconscious. Because the five elements of the opponent's ball in the real real battle are not fixed, this time mainly relies on the subconscious reaction, and only by forming muscle memory and then forming a subconscious batting action can we be comfortable in actual combat.
After reading:
1. This article comes from the enthusiastic netizen Li Long's contribution, I have read it several times, an intuitive feeling is derived from practice, true, grounded, words and things, pointed out the amateur golfers general "eye master low" problem, the key is to give analysis and solutions, for amateur golfers is very inspiring and reference significance.
2. The crowd gathers firewood and the flame is high. A person's wisdom is always limited, very welcome everyone's submission, "Yang Lei on table tennis" is my more than everyone,It is a platform for exchange and discussion of table tennis, as long as you have a love for table tennis, welcome everyone to show their wisdom on this platform.
3. I like the style of this article, simple and simple and direct. Since the first half of 2021, I have started to get "Yang Lei talking about table tennis", and so far for more than half a year, I have been encouraged and supported by many netizens, and many friends have left messages or exchanges, praising me and saying "good literary style". People, to get affirmation, it is inevitable to their tails, and many articles also invisibly reveal the suspicion of showing off words. This article gave me a very good reminder that words are important but not the most important, words are the carrier of opinions, and words are the most critical. With a new perspective that is refreshing and enlightening, even ordinary words can shine.
4. I especially like the ideas in the first and second paragraphs of this article, which are very resonant. Such as "the study of table tennis requires a long accumulation of technology, can not be in a hurry", "first of all, to establish a good action framework, the framework determines the height of the rise", "must be the front and back of the framework are established, otherwise if any of the technical loopholes, then the subsequent actual combat will leave regrets", etc., absolute experience. No matter how anxious some things are, they must also act according to the law, and if they have to "forcibly break through" and "reverse the meridians", they will often go astray and backfire. You can combine your daily practice and think about and experience one or two.
