Acquisition of "Basic Posture" must be the initial practise in table tennis. Basic posture means the posture before and after one hits the ball. All action should start from the basic posture before hitting and should end with the basic posture after hitting the ball. The fundamental theory must be explained to giue better understanding to this "Driue technique". When this technique is employed, everyone would notice that the player swing his racket up from lower position then the center of his body and swing up diagonally to the upper front of the body. This technique can be analized into two major motions. Driue motion (the stroke made for giving the ball a forward spin by hitting the ball until the ball receives enough friction to spin. Speed motion hitting the ball from back to front in order to give the ball, "forward moving power". There are the reasons why "Driue" and "Speed". are necessary. First "drive motion" can give the ball a "forward spinning motion". and this motion helps the ball drop the moment the spinning ball faces the air receiving the air-resistance. Thus, higher percentage of success in the other side of the table will be expected. This is, therefore, "Driue technique" is all about. I belieue that tennis world of Japan should with no exception employ this technique. Aboue are why I would like to discuss this subject and I would be honored to re ceivie your comments and opinions
