Strokes
To help keep the push low should I hit the ball right off of the bounce as it is rising? or at the top of the ball's travel? or just after the top of the ball's rise on the way down?
Hi Jim.
Try at first to hit the ball early. This will help to get the ball lower and also shorter on your opponent's side. Focus on a brushing contact on the ball and a soft hand as well.
Take a look at the lesson on The Push in Detail for some more help.
The banana flick has become one of the most important returns in table tennis. It allows you to attack almost any short ball and places your opponent under immediate pressure. Still it is a difficult stroke that takes a lot of practice to master.
