Hi Barsat,

Watching the ball carefully will give you the best information.

Eventually after a lot of training, you will start to recognise the flight patterns of the ball earlier.  This is one of the really important parts of training more.  By seeing the flight of different balls and different strokes you start to get the picture of what the ball will do in flight.

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.

Hi Mohammed,

We don’t have anything specifically on this.  But we do talk a bit about watching the ball in a lot of our videos and responses.
