Study Notes

Objectives and Scoring

The objective of table tennis is not explicitly stated, but presumably, it is to win points and games by hitting the ball in such a way that the opponent is unable to return it.

Scoring Points

A player scores points in table tennis when the opponent is unable to return the ball to the other side of the table.

Returning the Ball

If the opponent successfully returns the ball, the rally continues until one player fails to return the ball or makes an error.

Execution of Strokes

Push Stroke

The push stroke is executed by using a short, soft, and controlled motion to return a short ball.

Drive Stroke

The key characteristic of the drive stroke is its speed and power, using a forearm motion to generate pace and depth.

Block Stroke

The purpose of the block stroke is to counter strong loops and drives by using a firm, short motion to redirect the ball back to the opponent.
