No. Explain, beginners has several different levels and avenues of beginning. If You had high level of table tennis, tennis, racketball, baseball, basketball, ect… all have eye and hand coordination so those with that high level background going to advance quickly and only need basics and rules. Now if have someone that’s never play any sports they have to develop eye and hand coordination, how to hold paddle, different grips, vision how to stroke ball, and develop stroke that can get ball over the net. Even getting ball over net without pop up even harder. So, you can go to classes but boils down to practice and learning sport techniques stroking ball and strategy where to stand, when to come in and how serve get ball in court. Once you come close to mastering that you can now work on advancing strokes to play at higher level. You ask how do I get this? practice. Go to beginner times, eventually work up to advanced beginner times, and then regular open times. IMO there really no other way other than private lessons, but eventually you will still have join the crowd of all different levels. The highest level of recreational players spend hours day practicing to be able to compete at that level.
