In this video, I give an overview of the key shots used in table tennis. This includes drives, pushes, loops, blocks, flicks, chops, lobs and smashes. I explain when to use the shots and give a little technical information about how to execute the shots.
This video is aimed at beginner players. Maybe you have just started playing or have played socially but you’re unfamiliar with the main shots used in table tennis. This video will give you a much better understanding of the key shots - the names, when to use, how to do the shots and plenty of footage of the shots being used.
You can find more detailed information about all of these shots on my website: www.tabletenniscoach.me.uk/vi...

EXCELLENT!!! No matter what skill level you posses, the basics are the important foundation for consistency and learning more advanced techniques!
Brilliant video. Thanks Tom!
I have learned a lot from your videos Tom. Thank You :)
beautiful video. please make a part 2 video with more key shots (punches, slaps, etc), thx!
Exactly what I was looking for 👌 Thanks for a great video 👍
Love your videos! Even though I only play social doubles, my game has improved by watching your tutorials.
very nicely compiled thanks
Very useful sir learned a lot
Thank you 🙏 .. your video is very helpful ! Thanks
Beginners guide to serves would be good too😊
Please more beginner's guide!! Tysm
Hi Tom, brilliant as usual……any chance you could do a video where someone knows all the basic shorts BUT cannot seem to put them in a game please….?
Omg thank you thank you i regret for asking chatgpt for joinging the pingpong tournament but i learned about 3 days
Hello sir, love all your videos❤ Pls can u tell, how to switch faster between forehand and backhand as I am unable to do it? Is it due to wrong grip or something else?
I think it's due to the wrong body position..
If you stand little farther from the table you will have more time to switch.
Hello sir! I have a question! I started to play more often with my friends this sport and i love it. But i don't have a good raquet/palet. How do i know witch style i am. Offesinve or defensive? How could i know. And i want an good raquet because i want to learn to curve the ball. Sorry for my english.
I'd suggest getting a thick rubber if you want more spin, which is offensive. But the drawback is when an opponent serves a spin serve you wont have enough control with that rubber. If you want a rubber that is not too thick it will help you in both offensive and defensive. I use a racket called GKI Dragon which is actually thick but I know to control the spin. I'm semi-pro. The rackets you usually buy have Control: Speed: and Spin:. Mine has Control 97 , Speed: 90 and Spin 90. Control is 97 which means hard to control. Id suggest get a racket with 85 control if you are a intermediate player. If you are a beginner, get less than 75 Control. Stag has a good collection for beginners.
@@JohnDoe-nk8co thank you!
@@JohnDoe-nk8co i have one more question. I searched on the internet this days like crazy and i found this models. So what's your opinion? 1. DHS 4002 - having hurricane 3 2. Palio 2 star expert 3. Timo boll SG 55
Is it even possible to do a backhand smash? I tried it a bunch of times, but it never really works like forehand
Look up Kalinikos Kreanga backhand. It’s insane 🫡
Hello, can someone advise me about having pain in my arm because of playing ping pong daily, thanks
If during play the ball hits the net support and goes in. Is this a foul shot?
dont need to learn every shots, it depends on the player, some player are good at blocks, some are good at pushes, some are good at topspin loops
But if you don't know what every shot does, you'll be lacking an option. You can Then develop a style once you see all the options.
These are basic shots that everyone should master, at some degree at least
nice socks 😊
"Promo SM"
Seriously? for me it all looked all the same
Guys I didn't mean any hate
