Hello, Pingskills,

What is the differense between forehand push and backhand push? What do you think? I think it is the same.

I will be grateful.

Hi Konstantin,

Some players find the forehand push more awkward because of the movement of the wrist.  The bat movement is essentially the same with the bat moving forward.

Take a look at our lessons on the Backhand Push and the Forehand Push for more information.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.
