For the reverse penhold grip am i supposed to be curling my arm and flicking it or just flat?

Hi Matt,

Start by trying to hit the ball flat.  The key is to get the bat into a position that you can hit it flat which involves keeping your fingers nice and flexible.

It is a lot like the shakehand backhand but the awkward part is getting the bat into the right position.

Good luck with the stroke.  It will be really effective when you have mastered it.

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.
