Dear Alois:

I was watching the video on forehand smash.  Is there any stroke called as backhand smash because I find backhand counterhit, backhand chop etc and not backhand smash.  

If there is any such stroke, then how to execute that stroke.  Whether the same technique that is followed in forehand smash like getting the feet moving back and forth needs to be followed in backhand smash.

Kindly give your valuable guidance.

With Warm Regards,
Ram

Hi Ram,

If you have enough time always step around and make a Forehand smash as it is a lot easier to generate good speed with the forehand.  As soon as you see the ball up high enough you should use your feet to step around and make the forehand smash.

The Push in Detail

The humble push does not sound like an exciting stroke but it is one of the most important shots in Table Tennis. Having a great short push can be the difference between being an average player and being a great player. Make sure you allocate the appropriate amount of practice to mastering the push.
