Four table tennis books for players over 60

Read the spin. Play with less effort. Win with placement.

The drills, checks and practice cards from the channel, written out properly. Each book explains the real cause of a miss in plain English, gives you drills you can do at your club or at home, and cites a source for every fact. Every volume carries documented “From China” notes: what Chinese players, coaches and park players do differently, and what it costs. Nothing here asks you to move faster or hit harder.

  • PDF, instant download
  • Large, easy-to-read type
  • Practice cards to keep on your phone
  • 30-day money-back guarantee

Before you buy

Is this for you?

Probably yes, if…

  • You're past sixty and play at a club, a senior center or in a basement, singles or doubles.
  • You'd rather win with placement and spin than chase speed.
  • You want the reason behind a fix, not another tip.
  • You practice at club nights or at home, without a coach or a robot.
  • Your legs don't get there like they used to.

Probably not, if…

  • You want a promise of rating points or wins. These books don't make one.
  • You want athletic footwork training or video lessons. These are PDF books.
  • You're looking for a "secret" move. Everything here is documented and sourced.
  • You have an injury that makes turning, bending or stepping painful. See a doctor or physical therapist first.

Questions

Common questions

Are these the same as the videos?

No. The videos introduce one idea at a time. The books cover each topic completely, with step-by-step drills, self-checks, practice cards and a source for every fact.

Who is Mei?

Mei is a digital, AI-generated character who presents the channel. The books are written in her voice and report what published sources say, each one cited. She is not a certified coach, has no students and reports no personal results.

Is this endorsed by any player or brand?

No. The books are not affiliated with or endorsed by any player, coach, broadcaster or manufacturer. Names are used only to report documented facts, and each one is cited.

Will these books raise my rating or take away pain?

No book can promise that, and these don't. They show where players over sixty give points away and how to stop, and Play Easy shows a way of standing and moving that asks less of the body. None of it is medical advice, and nothing here treats or prevents any condition.

Why is Play Easy only in the Library?

It is the volume that ties the other three together: where you stand, how you move and how you warm up for every drill in them. It is sold only as part of The Complete Senior Table Tennis Library.

Do I need a new paddle?

No. Volume 2 explains what tacky and springy rubbers do, who each helps and who it doesn't. Nothing in the books requires buying any equipment.

I'm in my 60s or 70s. Is this suitable?

It was written for that reader: small changes, short practice sessions and clear safety notes. If you have knee, back, shoulder, balance or heart problems, check with your doctor before changing how you play.

What format are the books?

PDF, US Letter size, with large type. They open in any PDF reader on a phone, tablet or computer.

Will my card statement show a strange name?

The charge appears under the name of our checkout provider, shown on the payment page before you pay. If you don't recognize a charge, email us first and we'll sort it out.

How do refunds work?

Email hiddensecretsmedialabs@gmail.com within 30 days of purchase. We refund in full to the original payment method.
