Hi Sir,

I am a lefty beginner and I really love to play the game. I have also joined a club recently. However I am not able to play Forehand strokes properly. My stance first was to squat a little towards my right hand side and playing defensive. I now stand parallel to table but still find it very awkward to play forehand shots. Please help.

Hi Omkar,

It may just be a matter of turning your body slightly before hitting the ball.  You can do this with your feet or by rotating you waist.  This will get your bat in a better position to hit the ball cleanly.

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.
