Hello, I need your help to improve my backhand push.  The problem is that whenever I perform backhand push, the ball flies high but it bounces in the table instead.  How can I keep it low?

Hi Ankit,

Try to brush the bottom of the ball more.  If you hit the ball flat it will tend to fly higher.  By brushing the ball and moving forward with the stroke it will start to fly lower.

Take a look at our videos on the Backhand Push and the The Push in Detail for our Premium members.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
