What is the table tennis technique?

1. Preparation posture: stand with shoulder width and slightly lift your heels, bend your knees and waist without sticking out your chest, pat your abdomen and look at it, prepare to move and relax your body.

2. Serve: Stretch out your palm and throw the ball upward into the air. There are many ways to hit the ball, such as up and down side spin, rubbing the surface of the ball, with different lengths, lightness, speed and force.

3. Receiving the serve: Get in a prepared posture to receive the serve, spin the incoming ball in the opposite direction, push and block with topspin, rub with downspin, and attack with long and short lobs.

4. Forehand attack: Avoid raising your elbow and hold the racket loosely. Move your forearm forward and upward, foot slightly forward, turn your body to the right, and tilt the racket to hit the ball.

5. Backhand attack: Place your forearm on your abdomen and your arm against your chest, use your elbow as the axis for the arm and wrist movements, move your left foot back and turn your waist to the left, tilt your racket and hit the ball diagonally to the center.

6. Push and block the ball: Push and block mostly use the backhand side, the action is similar to backhand attack, the forearm exerts force forward and downward, and the racket is tilted to push and block the ball upward and in the middle.

7. Rub the ball: first tilt the racket slightly and then send it horizontally, rubbing the lower middle of the ball forward. The wrist moves in coordination with the forearm, and whether the ball rotates or not depends on the wrist movement.

8. Slice the ball: Determine the movement of the incoming ball first, bend your legs, turn your body, lead the racket, first look up and then horizontally rub the bottom of the ball, and move forward and downward in an arc.

9. Loop ball: Swing the racket forward with force, and lightly rub the ball surface in the middle. The thinner the ball is, the more it will turn into a loop, and the rub surface should be wider and with more force.

10. Return loop: Tilt the racket to cover the center of the ball, adjust the racket center in time to relax, move the racket up and down to slice, and short-cut the ball to the center.

11. High ball: shake and cut the ball to the middle after leaving the table, send it forward in a high parabola, and hit it far to the opponent's left and right corners. The higher and farther the spin, the more successful it will be.

12. Kill high ball: Don't be anxious when the ball bounces high. Move to wait for it to fall above your forehead. Turn your arm and press forward, or you can chop the ball diagonally from the side.

13. Skateboard ball: Hit the ball forward to the right as if hitting the ball, then suddenly turn the wrist to the left, rub the ball diagonally on the left side and hit it hard, making a feint to the east and attacking in the west to achieve a miraculous success.

14. Short ball: When the opponent leaves the table, it is better to drop the ball short. It seems that the long racket should be used to send the ball lightly. The racket should be flat to reduce the force and send the ball lightly. The vertical paddle can also be used to block lightly.

15. Footwork: When practicing, be sure not to lose your footwork. You should move before hitting the ball. Moving first and then hitting is the key. If the footwork is chaotic, your technique will be ineffective.

How to Appreciate Table Tennis

1. When there is a clear tendency and strong expectation for the outcome of a match, the emotions are high when watching. For example, the Chinese women's volleyball team participating in the Olympic finals is far more attractive than a match between two other countries.

2. Emotions run high when there is a high degree of uncertainty about the outcome of a match.

3. When viewers have a certain understanding and interest in the project they are watching, they will be in high spirits and gain greater enlightenment from it. As the saying goes, "experts see the doorway, while laymen see the excitement" is exactly this truth.

4. The venue, atmosphere, colors, and emotions of the people around you will also affect the emotions of the spectators. Although watching sports is a form of entertainment, it also requires the spectators to have a correct attitude, civilized behavior, and basic knowledge of sports. If you indulge your emotions blindly, you will also see the bad things in watching sports, such as hysteria, violence, and narrow nationalism or regionalism.

What are the five elements of table tennis?

1. Speed: For a normal ball, hit it when it is at its highest point; if it is a particularly spinning ball, catch it after it has fallen for a certain period of time. (Before catching the ball, you must think about the direction of the ball's rotation and catch it in the opposite direction of its rotation). In particular, if it is a ball that deviates when it touches the table, you must catch it at its landing point according to its rotation.

2. Spin: If you want to practice spin, it is best to use the provincial 3 (the national 3 is better, but it is hard to buy), and tilt the racket about 50 degrees when receiving the ball (this is just my feeling, it depends on personal situation). This mainly depends on the feel of the hand, and it needs to be practiced frequently. It is not possible without a few years of table tennis skills.

3. Arc: Just pay attention to the landing point when pulling the ball (the better the ball spins, the better the arc).

4. Strength: Mainly use the waist.

5. Drop point: When you receive the ball, the racket should move back a little before it touches the ball. When you attack, pay attention to adjusting your stance and coordinate with the wrist movement. Just pay attention to this when you practice.
