Hi alois,

When long pushing, I noticed that when pushing the ball long and cross court. I think it's the angle of the bat or that you are brushing across the ball to get to go cross court. 

I don't want sidespin on my push, they will attack it easily. But then, it always get sidespin as I go cross court. How to solve this?

Hi Eugene,

Try to make sure the bat is following the path of the stroke you want.  If you brush across the path you will generate sidespin.
