Strokes
Hi alois,
I know that you alway insist push is a defensive stroke, but I find putting more spin and doing in a finer and quicker contact and aiming for the corner could win some easy points.
Pls tell me how to do it, and how to defend it.
Hi Mat,
A push can be an attacking stroke when played fast with good spin. To do it bring your hand through faster and really brush under the ball on contact. In training put some targets on the table in the corners and aim for them.
To defend it you need to step back a little to give yourself more time and then make the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin stroke.
In the heat of the rally it can become difficult to make the right choice between forehand and backhand. We give you some tips.

Yeah, I found that out as well... sometimes, when I really wanted to put some backspin on the ball, the ball flew long and fast across the table.

Hi Alois,
How to prevent my opponents from pushing fast? Is it really possible?
Ilia, if you push it to difficult positions an keep them off balance then it will be harder for them to push fast and accurately.
