2. “what are the basic skill in table tennis?”  To improve at this game, you need first to learn the basic strokes in table tennis: forehand drive, backhand drive, and backhand push. Knowledge of these basic strokes will make it easy to advance to other table tennis shots.

3. “what are the basic skill in table tennis?”  You can play this game with a tennis table, two rackets, a table tennis ball, and an opponent. There are both singles and doubles match at the competitive level. So, if you want to start playing table tennis or have just started playing the game. Then you need proper skills to be a better player. So, here are the basic skills in playing table tennis.

4. Forehand            The fundamental skill for playing table tennis is the forehand drive or a forehand. A rookie player needs to learn this basic skill to play. When the ball comes to the paddled side of the body, this shot is necessary. You need to hit the running ball while rotating your body and the other arm. A forehand shot increases the power, and the opponent gets a powerful knock. While playing this shot, you need to put your thumb upwards. 

5. Backhand            The second fundamental skill is to know the backhand drive or the backhand. When the ball comes to the other side of the paddled hand, this skill is required. You can also play this shot when the ball comes straight at your body. In both of these scenarios, your footwork and stance are important with swinging the racket. You can also play this shot when the ball is fast, as you don’t need to apply force. 

6. Serving Serving in table tennis is important, as your opponent will get the opportunity the hit the ball after an easy serve. In serving, you need to bounce the ball on your side and then to the other side. After every point, players start the new point with a serve. There are so many variations of a table tennis service. You can serve with both forehand and backhand serve. Players who can swing the ball are the best servers.

7. Pushes            There are mainly two strategies players follow. One is to play the ball with full force and the other one is to play a short ball. So, when a short ball is played, you need to get closer to the table and lean forward. You don’t need to apply force to the ball as your body movement will automatically apply force to the ball. You can use this skill regardless of which side of your body the ball is.

8. Flicks            The flicks are the skill to return a spin shot. Suppose your opponent plays a shot where the ball has a spin and is also close to the net. You may confuse this skill with the push. But here, a motion from your wrist and elbow is needed to deliver the ball to the opponent’s side. Also, you don’t need to apply full force to the ball, as a force can push the ball outside the table.

9. Spinning            In table tennis, there are mainly four different spins. Spin is very important in a table tennis match, as it is a tricky shot that can challenge the opponent. No matter whether you want to play defensive or offensive, you need to learn to spin the ball.  Topspin  – Paddle swings from low to high. Backspin  – Paddle swings from high to low. Right Side Spin  – The paddle goes left to right. Left Side Spin  – The paddle goes right to left.

10. Loops            This is one of the modern table tennis basic skills. Recently table tennis players have acquired this skill to put a spin on the ball during the offense. Players play this shot by swinging their racket from low to high to put swing and force. The style of the shot generates topspin and makes it harder to play for the opponent. When there is a monotonous game running, then there is a need for loops .

11. 1. The Grip          Arguably the most foundational of all skills, how you grip your paddle can significantly influence your gameplay. Shakehand Grip:  Most popular in the Western world, it's like shaking hands with your paddle. It offers a balanced forehand and backhand stroke. Penhold Grip:  Predominant in Asian countries, this grip involves holding the paddle similarly to a pen. This grip provides a strong forehand but can be limiting for the backhand.

12. 2. The Serve          A game of table tennis begins with a serve, and having a strong, unpredictable serve can be a considerable advantage. High Toss Serve:  By tossing the ball high, players can generate extra spin, making it harder for the opponent to predict the ball's trajectory. Short Serve:  Keeping serving in table tennis short and close to the net can disrupt an opponent's rhythm and prepare you for an attacking return. Side Spin Serve:  By striking the ball on the sides, you can make it curve, creating challenges for your opponent.

13. 3. Forehand and Backhand Drives          Drives form the core of table tennis rallies and are essential for maintaining an offensive stance in the game. Forehand Drive:  Performed from the player's dominant side, this stroke is powerful and can be used both defensively and offensively. Backhand Drive:  Executed from the non-dominant side, the backhand drive is crucial for balls coming to the player's left (for right-handers) or right (for left-handers).

14. 4. The Spin          Introducing spin to the ball can make your shots unpredictable and challenging to return. Topspin:  By brushing the ball's upper surface, players can make the ball dive down faster, ideal for aggressive shots. Backspin:  Striking the ball's lower surface, this spin makes the ball bounce back towards the player after landing, often used in defensive shots. Side Spin:  As the name suggests, brushing the ball on its sides will make it curve to the left or right.

15. 5. Blocking and Counter-Driving          Basic skills and techniques in table tennis that focus on defense are just as vital as offensive tactics. They allow a player to not only return aggressive shots but also transition seamlessly from defense to offense. Blocking:  This is the ability to absorb the speed and spin from an opponent's shot and return the ball with minimal motion. It's most effective against top-spin attacks. A well-executed block can reduce the opponent's time to react, putting them on the defensive. Counter-Driving:  This involves returning an aggressive top-spin shot with another top-spin shot. The aim is to use the speed and spin from the opponent's shot against them, creating a rapid counter-attack.

16. 6. Footwork          Last but certainly not least, proper footwork ensures you're always in the right position to make your next shot. Side-to-Side Movement:  This helps in reaching balls played wide to your forehand or backhand. In-and-Out Movement:  Crucial for adjusting to short balls or those that are deep on the table. Pivoting:  Useful when you need to use a powerful forehand shot from the backhand side.
