Keeping Your Eye on the Ball in Table Tennis/Ping-Pong

Stop Watching the Ball!

Just thought I would throw that in to see if you are still paying attention. Although I do mean it, in all seriousness. Once you have hit the ball yourself, there is not much point in watching the ball closely to see where you have hit it - it should hopefully be going pretty much exactly where you want it to go. You would be much better off switching your attention to your opponent and what he is doing, so you have an idea of what shot he is going to play next and where he is going to hit it.
