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.
