This exercise is about controlling the state, in which you play your service, and about getting into the open play. Many times one can recognize, that players go for the ball after loosing a point and play the next service without any phase of concentration. And many players freeze after their service and watch, what’s happening with the ball. This loss of the flow of movement often prevents the next stroke from becoming a good one. At the so called „Service-Biathlon“ several targets are positioned on the other half of the table. Again two combined Butterfly catalogues are perfect. The goal for the player is now, to gain 10 hits in a certain row (first target field 1, then 2…). Several player on different tables compete each other, the fastest wins. After each service (no matter if hit or not) every player has to make sidesteps around the table. This simulates the stress in competition and forces the player, to regain focus before each new service and to calm down a little after the sidesteps, to be relaxed enough for the service. Yet on the other hand he can’t take too much time- regulations of Table Tennis Game as well as the goal of the exercise prevent this. Because of this hurry the phase of service and movement by sidesteps is fluent.
