Non stop short pushing
Strategy
eugene lu Asked 9 years ago
Hi pingskills,
Short push is an important part of table tennis, you can prevent being attacked by pushing short. I played with some people who understand this tactic as well.
After the serve, we both push short to prevent attack. Neither of us wants to give an inch. So we keep pushing short.
If we continue pushing short like that, we might be stucked in that rally forever. So my question is, what should I do to stop that short push rally, should I give the long ball to him and give him the opportunity to attack, or what else can I do?
Sorry if I've asking to much questions recently

Hi Eugene,
After a few short pushes you can push one long and fast especially if you see they are staying close to the net. Make sure you go to their weaker attacking side.

What if the caught me with the long ball?
When you short push it is important to jump back after each push so that you are ready for the long ball.

Or perhaps an over a table attack? Maybe try learning the backhand or forhand flick for those short pushes that are higher than the net and youll win alot of straight points because youre opponet will expect your short push.
