Summary: Table tennis is a great sport. To be really good at it requires hard training and years of practice. Imagine hitting a table tennis ball that goes in speeds of 112.5 kilometers per hour or 69.9 miles per hour. At that speed it's very hard to even see a 40mm diameter ball. One needs rather quick reflexes in order to be able to volley the ball back and forth the two sides.

Table tennis is a great sport. To be really good at it requires hard training and years of practice. Imagine hitting a table tennis ball that goes in speeds of 112.5 kilometers per hour or 69.9 miles per hour. At that speed it's very hard to even see a 40mm diameter ball. One needs rather quick reflexes in order to be able to volley the ball back and forth the two sides. Aside from practicing really hard, one way to get proper training is to get tips and techniques from the pros. And the best place to get that information is through the mouths of the pros themselves. But if you don't have the resources to hire a pro to teach you the works one still have another alternative. This is to join a table tennis forum. An online community is a great place to share experiences and get information from equipment to style and playing techniques. Most of the times such online forums are free and you only need to sign up and basically you're ready to go and surf the forum. However, there are some basic behavior and etiquettes that one needs to observe if they join such table tennis forums. First and foremost, forum posters need to be kind all the time. Regardless of the comments they read and criticisms they receive, a forum is an online community where people need to interact civilly to make the whole community functioning smoothly. Too many proud and rude individuals in the forum will only invite scornful comments and elicit bad blood among forum members. There are ways of being kind. One way of course is by treating all the people politely. Another way is to use emoticons like various smiley images. Another great tip when you join online forums is to keep an open mind on things. You signed up on such a forum to learn. If you become close minded and refuse to even consider the different information posted in there, then it will defeat the purpose of signing up. Also, just like accepting the possibility that people are right in the forum, you should also learn to accept the fact that what you know is probably false or not actually the right way. A good online community also involves keeping forum members active and participative in discussion involving table tennis and such. The more active posters there are, the more information are exchanged among members which gives them more opportunity to learn and improve the playing skills. Also, be sure that you don't be too full of yourself. The world is huge, there are a lot of players better than you so be sure to be kind and appreciative of the tips and techniques that you read about in the forums. Even though you feel already set to take over the world, there's always more to learn we tell you that. Remember to be humble and praise others more. Don't go about the forum praising your own skills, you will definitely look like jerk in the forum. All forums have their own set of rules and regulations. Be sure to browse the rules at least once to avoid being kicked out by the forum administrators or moderators. Also, don't forget to keep promoting the sport. Table tennis online forums are of great service for table tennis players especially the ones that are new to the sport.
