multiball

By , About.com Guide

Definition: Multiball is a form of high intensity table tennis training, where the coach (or feeder) typically stands at the side of the table with a container of balls, which he hits to the player one at a time in quick succession.

Using multiball, a coach can feed a number of balls with different types of spin and speed in quick succession. This allows the coach to work the player very hard, while not getting too tired himself, and also allows a coach to simulate a higher standard of play then he is actually capable of playing in competition.
