Strokes
Hello there,
Can you explain to me how you smash a ball back effectively when someone slices it to you?
Thanks.
Hi Mark,
If the ball has a lot of backspin it is better to try to topspin the ball rather than smash it. If you try to smash it you will have a very low margin for error and it is likely to go into the net or off the end of the table.
The better aggressive stroke to play is a Forehand Topspin Off Backspin.
In this video, we dive into the forehand push, a crucial defensive stroke in table tennis that allows you to control rallies with effective backspin. We break down the three key concepts—start position, feet position, and finish position—to help you execute the stroke with precision. You'll also learn how to adjust your bat angle to generate varying degrees of backspin, depending on the spin your opponent imparts on the ball. Finally, we'll guide you through practical drills to enhance your proficiency and consistency with the forehand push, ensuring you're well-prepared for your next match. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your technique, this tutorial will provide you with the tools to master the forehand push.
