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.

Backhand Topspin Against Block

We delve into the essential techniques for executing a consistent backhand topspin against a block. We cover three critical aspects:​

  1. Foot Position: Ensuring a stable and balanced stance to facilitate quick movements.​ 
  2. Start Position: Positioning your racket and body correctly to initiate the stroke effectively.​ 
  3. Finish Position: Completing the stroke in a way that prepares you for the next shot.​ 

Additionally, we discuss how to adjust your bat angle if the ball goes long, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the same start and finish positions without coming across your body.​

Whether you're a beginner aiming to build a solid foundation or an advanced player looking to refine your technique, this comprehensive guide is designed to enhance your game.

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