Strokes
Please explain how to perform a side the net stroke which rolls the ball on the table
Hi Jayant,
To do this you need the incoming ball to be quite wide so that you have a direct path to the table. Sometimes you can get a bit of sidespin and make it curve around the net but that adds another layer of difficulty.
Then wait till the ball is quite low, around table height and play a sidespin topspin stroke like we show you in the tutorial on the Sidespin Forehand Topspin.
Not easy... but lots of fun when you make it.
In this video, we dive into the forehand push, a crucial defensive stroke in table tennis that allows you to control rallies with effective backspin. We break down the three key concepts—start position, feet position, and finish position—to help you execute the stroke with precision. You'll also learn how to adjust your bat angle to generate varying degrees of backspin, depending on the spin your opponent imparts on the ball. Finally, we'll guide you through practical drills to enhance your proficiency and consistency with the forehand push, ensuring you're well-prepared for your next match. Whether you're a beginner or looking to refine your technique, this tutorial will provide you with the tools to master the forehand push.
