Putting weight into your stroke

Strokes

chris Lee Asked 10 years ago

Is it possible to put your weight into a backhand to add more power to it? Or is it better to focus on the wrist to provide all the power?

Additionally, what about the forehand? Is it he same situation there as well? I'm trying hard to work on power lately.

Hi Chris,

A lot of power comes from rotation both with forehand and backhand.

I like this link we showed recently on our Ask the Coach Show to the Karate Kid. Karate Kid II Drum Scene. We also talk about it during Show #169.

The Push in Detail

The humble push does not sound like an exciting stroke but it is one of the most important shots in Table Tennis. Having a great short push can be the difference between being an average player and being a great player. Make sure you allocate the appropriate amount of practice to mastering the push.
