I am left handed and having trouble pushing on forehand.  I get it too high, what angle do I have to have on my racket? Horizontal or slighty angled?

Hi Joseph,

You should have your bat tilted slightly back so that you are brushing under the ball.  This will generate a little backspin and also keep the ball lower.

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.
