Parth asked us the following question:

I do not have a serious table tennis partner at home however I have time to practice everyday for 90 min. In order to improve my footwork and technique is it good to use shadow drills instead of playing without a serious partner? Or should I alternate between playing one day with partner and one day without partner and practice only shadow drills? Do shadow drills really improve our forehand and backhand techniques and how often should I practice shadow drills?

Yes shadow drills can be helpful. Watch the video to find out more about the benefits of shadow practice or shadow drills.
