Terminology push

Strokes

Marcin Lonak Asked 9 years ago

Hello Alois, hello Jeff

is a push always a backspin ball, or do no spin strokes also count as pushes?

Especially meaning short push.

Alois Rosario Answered 9 years ago

Hi Marcin ,

A push can have no spin on it as well. At the very basic level I remember learning that as a push stroke.

That makes sense. I still tend to think of a push as more of a backspin stroke.
