Hi Marian,

You have three options.  You can push short push long or flick.

They are all viable options it is a matter of deciding when to do each of these.

Take a look at our tutorials on The Push in Detail and the Forehand Flick for some more help on these.

For our Premium members there is also a good tutorial on Receiving Options that will help.

If you want to access this and many more Premium tutorials you can go to the My info at the top right of the site and see the options there.
