In this video I show you the classic Falkenberg training drill. This is a training drill which table tennis players do all over the world.
The Falkenberg is a training drill where you play a backhand from the backhand corner, a forehand from the backhand corner, a forehand from the forehand corner and repeat.
It’s an all-time classic. Swedish world champion Stellan Bengtsson did this drill a lot at his Falkenberg club in the 1970s (hence the ‘Falkenberg’ name) and players have been doing it ever since.
In the video I explain why you should do the drill, how to do the drill and a few variations to spice things up a bit.
