Brushing only with topspin
Strokes
Xariuz Cruz Asked 11 years ago
Hi Pingskills! The contact when topspin a backspin ball is just only brushing the ball right? Or need to hit it a little?

Hi Xariuz,
You can vary the amount of brush you get depending on the amount of spin they put on the ball and the speed you want to hit it.
For more speed you can flatten out the contact for more spin, brush the ball finely.

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.

Flatten out the contact? Doesn't the ball go straight to the net if so?
Not necessarily. You are still putting some topspin on the ball so it will dip.
