A beginner's guide to table tennis (key shots)

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: https://www.tabletenniscoach.me.uk/video-lessons/
