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.

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.
