Thumb and forefinger pressure on forehand and backhand
Strokes
Aaron Barrett Asked 9 years ago
Hi guys
Could you please do a video response on the thumb and forefinger pressure for the forehand and backhand. A lot of information suggests a movement of the thumb on the forehand side.
Thanks
Aaron

Hi Aaron,
Try to keep the grip reasonably similar on both sides. On the backhand sometimes you can put your thumb up a little for more stability.
Whatever movement happens, it needs to be something that you can do very quickly when changing between the two sides.

The Push in Detail
The humble push does not sound like an exciting stroke but it is one of the most important shots in Table Tennis. Having a great short push can be the difference between being an average player and being a great player. Make sure you allocate the appropriate amount of practice to mastering the push.
