Lack of power
Strokes
Milan Mirkovic Asked 14 years ago
Can you advice me to increase the strength of the impact? I have a great spin, as well as movement in the points, but i miss a bit more power. Can you give me some advice on how to increase the strength of the shot? Thanks, Milan from Serbia.

Hi Milan,
The main thing is to increase the speed of the contact. Make sure you are keeping the same stroke and just increase the speed of the stroke. You can also have a slightly flatter contact to get the ball moving faster.

The Push in Detail
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.
