Hi, my footwork & handle grip along with my style is unorthodox, people suggest to adopt the technical ways but I'm not really comfortable with that. My game is allowing me to lead the competition although I think I will need to reinvent myself go to a higher level, is there many world champions who were unorthodox?

Hi Frank,

Unfortunately there are not really any World Champions that are too unorthodox.  The principles that are developed have come about for a reason and that is why the strokes that you learn initially are so important to get you to the highest level.

It will not be an easy task to change your techniques but if you want to really progress to a high level it will be an important step.

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.
