Winning Table Tennis: Skills, Drills, and Strategies Paperback – October 24, 1996

This book is for players who already know how to play TT. It doesn't include the TT rules. Ideal for intermediate-level players who want to progress up to "professional" level. This book describes all the major strokes and footwork. It's the only book that describes the various services both forehand and backhand. (Table Tennis from A to Z by Messinis contains only a cursory and theoritical examination of the services.). But the best part about this book is the one about how to shape up yourself for the tournament. The warm-up/warm-down exercises are great. The chapter on nutrition is excellent. The chapter on strategy is brilliant. Furthermore, the "tone" of this book is quite reader-friendly: it's like hearing the author speaking by your ears. In short, buy this book and I guarantee you'll never regret it.

Read this and you don't even have to play ping pong to become a master. Reading this was like reading the bible except the stuff I read actually taught me something useful. Want to impress your girlfriends father? Give this ho to him and I swear she will be yours forever. You're the dad now.

The media could not be loaded. First I would like to thank Danny for the revealing story of standing up to Chinese player CaiZhenHua’s disrespect doing a somersault after winning a point! I saw him do that to David Phillips! With proper coaching Seemiller could have been world champ. I myself was better than I thought beating George Braithwaite 2 games at 10&12 copying Cai’s style. Chinatown nyc I didn’t realize how amazing that was and quit playing. The game has changed with a 40mm ball and a new book is needed for special techniques this book is primitive. Ive found new ways to block and made a new racket to handle the heavy ball. We need a new book.

A comprehensive textbook for all aspects of competitive table tennis as it claims : skills, drills, and strategies. I would recommend for anybody serious about competing.

Would especially suit left handed players. Clear and concise and great for beginners or experienced players.Always something to learn.

I'm such a pro now after learning the ping pong science.

I am a Singaporean. You do not find many books on Table Tennis on sale here. So when I went to London, I bought 3 different books. Of the 3,I found the book by Dan Seemiller the most comprhensive and informative.Before, I had a lot of problems initiating an attack against opponents who utilise heavy underspin pushes and chops. Dan's book helped me master the skill of looping against underspin and thereby allowing me to initiate the attack. I found that a lot of players are not able to counter the spinny arch loop. As a result, I am more confident of my strokes and have moved a couple of rungs above my opponents.I would like to recommend this book to all who wish to improve and perfect their game of Table Tennis.

There is nothing wrong with this book, it was just not what I was looking for. I was looking for a book that might aid in the development of my table tennis game. I was looking for specific drills to improve my play and consistency. I would not recommend this book if this is what you are looking for.
