More Table Tennis Tips

A very nice collection of tips that famed table tennis coach Larry Hodges has included in his blog postings over the past 3 years. Aimed at the intermediate and up player (or perhaps a rapidly advancing advanced beginner), it doesn't focus on the mechanics of the basic table tennis strokes, but instead how to improve your play generally. It ranges from tactics within points (sections on serve, receive, rally tactics) to more general game strategies and even how to do things like developing practice partners or what to do when you're playing in an unfamiliar tournament. It'a an invaluable supplement to table tennis lessons which tend to concentrate on stroke improvement but not on what you should do with your newly improved strokes! This is a stand-along volume - my favorite of his earlier books is his "Table Tennis Tactics for Thinkers".

As always, Larry presents clear, unambiguous tips based on his years of experience as a player and as a coach. So will YOU jump 1000 points after reading his Tips? Not likely, but you may feel like you're armed to do so. St yourself a goal, buy the book, read it and understand it, and se how you've improved. Great read either way.

Larry Hodges is the man.

Excellent book!! Most TT books cover only basic techniques and offer little on tactics. Larry does the exact opposite!!This book as well as his previous books are loaded with specific tactical ideas and offers many many suggestions on all aspects of TT. Serving, Serve Receive, Footwork, Advanced Strokes, Mental Fitness, Tactical approach to different styles of player, etc.I will be buying anything Larry publishes simply because I know I WILL learn something new. Larry's love of the game is evident in every single page. I know this material is available on his blog for free, but it is definitely handy to have all these tips in one package.Thank you Larry!!FdT
