How to Play Table Tennis

Here at Home Leisure Direct we have a fantastic set of video tutorials for Table Tennis. We have created a range of videos to show you all the tips and tricks you'll need to get you playing at the top of your game in no time.

To talk through the game from basics to expert techniques, we called on Ryan Jenkins, Gold Medal winner at the Commonwealth Games, to help us record video tips and training to improve your game from the very beginning.

To get started, we recommend our videos on The Stance and The Grip; these will get you started correctly and prevent the formation of bad habits. Ryan talks through every point of the game and explains why each is important, and these videos will prove helpful to more advanced players as well as novices.

Once you've mastered the basics, Ryan can show you important techniques such as hitting the ball with the sweet spot on the bat, serving and the correct way to play both forehand and backhand shots.

When you're ready for more advanced tutorials, we also have videos covering particular types of shot, such as top spin, back spin and side spin, as well as aspects of the game like returning a serve and smashing.

For an overview of the game, we have videos that explain how to score correctly and how to get involved in table tennis in your area.

This comprehensive guide to Table Tennis will improve the match standard of any player. We even include a video profile of Ryan himself, if you'd like to know more about him as a player and how he has become so successful.

Showroom

Stressful city centre driving and expensive places to park are not part of the Home Leisure Direct experience. Instead we have three converted stone built barns, one of which was an old milking parlour, in the idyllic countryside where you will be greeted by a member of our friendly, knowledgeable team with free parking right outside the door.

We believe visiting us will be the most fun showroom visit you will ever have. Whether you're looking for a table tennis table, table tennis accessories or one of our other fantastic games room products, we look forward to welcoming you soon with a freshly brewed cup of coffee and a truly enjoyable experience.
