Short push more spin
Strokes
Atanas Atanasov Asked 13 years ago
Hi Alois,
How to put a lot of backspin on the short push. When my coach was watching me I was returning a short backspin serve with a short push (by just touching the ball). He said that I am not putting enough backspin on the ball. I tried to put more spin but it went off the table. How to put more backspin on the short push?

Hi Nasko,
Just try adjusting the angle of your bat. Have it flatter to the surface of the table. This will mean you are contacting more under the ball and so should be able to generate more spin.
You can also use your wrist a little to bring it through faster and get the ball spinning more if you start to feel comfortable with the new angle of your bat.

Stop Coming Back to Ready Position! Do This Instead…
Most players are told to always return to the ready position after every stroke but that might be hurting your game. In this video, we reveal a smarter way to recover:
✔ Track the ball immediately after your shot
✔ Move your racket into position for the next shot instead of blindly resetting
✔ Improve your timing, balance, and flow during rallies
Whether you’re a beginner or advanced player, understanding this subtle change can have a big impact on your consistency and speed around the table.
