Dealing with half-long pushes
Strokes
Oliver Asked 13 years ago
How do you topspin a half-long backspin push/serve which just goes beyond the table without hitting your bat?
Alois Rosario Answered 13 years ago
Hi Oliver,
If the second bounce is off the table then you can make a topspin. Your stroke will need to be quite vertical though to get the ball up over the end of the table.
