Attributes of a Good Table Tennis Player?

[Smile]

I was wondering. What attributes are useful for a table tennis player? I found one interesting article on the subject, and wondered what your thoughts were: http://www.jssm.org/vol12/n3/1/v12n3-1text.php

If I had to say, I'm not sure. Optimal reach is probably important, not to long or too short. But reach can also be supplemented with good footwork. Good control with your hands is very important, particularly for difficult shots. And of course good reflexes. I more than likely missed out something critical there.

What do you consider important attributes for table tennis?

Also being able to think(mental strenght) is important,as stated above.
Physical endurence is a aspect that I think most people don't worry about-they often get proved wrong,and learn the hard way how important it is.

P90X is very important. It goes for any sport.
