Pushing

Strokes

Johnny Long Asked 10 years ago

Hey.

My coach have taught me to keep my push small and gentle.

He told me to keep the movement of my bat small.

However, I find that this doesn't work against very heavy spins. I need to really come under the ball and slice it to get the ball over.

So my question is, should my push always be small and gentle, or they should have more momentum and spin, or it can vary?

Thanks.

Hi Johnny,

For the heavy backspin ball you can still just adjust the angle of your racket even further back so that the ball goes over the net. You really don’t need a big swing.

Snake Shot

A snake shot is a type of stroke which is specifically used against a drop shot. It is usually loaded with a heavy spin so that the opponent finds it difficult to counter. The type of spin can be backspin, sidespin or topspin depending on your choice. You need to make a movement after hitting the ball to confuse your opponent.
