Martchello Unknown Asked 17 years ago
Hello,
I'd like to understand what is difference b/w forehand counterhit and forehand push in terms of technique and situations when they are applied.
Thanks!

Hi Marchello,
The Forehand counterhit is hit with a small amount of topspin and really is an attacking shot. You use this to try win the point or at least gain the ascendency in a rally.
The
Forehand Push is more of a defensive stroke. With this shot you impart backspin on the ball which makes it harder for your opponent to attack.
