Fred 15 - Fred Table Tennis 28th June 2009

I can't take much credit for his latest improvement, he has been playing against the other kids at the club mostly in a junior league and only occasionally against me. He is quite a bit more mobile now, but the footwork is not perfect as he tends to put in a bit of tennis footwork too. His tennis is also affecting his followthrough on his FH, but I'm not worried, because at least he is having fun.

very consistent shots a very nice back hand. I think now you need to teach fred footwork. I have seen your other vids of you playing you certainly know how to move in table tennis.

@TheYoungsetTTcoach Fred's footwork is probably the main focus at the moment. He is considerably better than in this old vid, but there are always improvements to be made.

[Compantino]

I think it's almost crazy to mix tennis and table tennis.

@Compantino I will tell Freddie that you think that he is almost crazy. Thanks for your comment.

This is the Dewsbury Table Tennis Centre in Heckmondwike.

He doesn't do the crossover stuff half as much now. Footwork is improving all the time. He is doing more multiball now and people are keeping a better eye on his feet (not so easy when feeding to him). It all takes time though but he has plenty of time to get things right.

he's got good cross-over footwork to his wide fh

could be looking at a potentially fantastic fh pivot player..

[jamfreddie]

It has tiles on the surface, I think it is a sprung floor underneath though.

Sorry to ask but is that concrete flooring or rubber?
