Hi Saad,

It sounds like you are playing against Long Pimple rubber.  The rubber reverses the spin that you put on the ball.  So if you push the ball then it comes back to you with topspin.  Therefore you need to treat this as a topspin ball.  If you try to push it, the ball will go high.  It is probably best to counterhit that ball and you will be bale to keep it lower.

Tactics Against a Good Short Pusher

Use a long push or a flick to open up the game against someone who is beating you at the short game. It might not be your favourite way to play but if you are losing the short game you need to mix things up. In the long run you certainly need to improve your own short game.
