Short Push Game

All Levels

Use this fun game to improve your short push. The short push is such an important stroke in table tennis as it stops your opponent from playing a full attacking topspin stroke. It is important that you keep the ball low and short when playing the short push and this is what the game encourages. Good luck and remember if you have any questions about this video then leave a comment. We'd love to hear from you!

As a longpips player,I have mostly difficulty,as noone wants to train this with me,but overally,noone here wants to train this with noone,since they consider it a passive game and here they encourage "never play passive" approach.

I think having these easy-to-hard variations for a short push game make it much more interesting, more challenging, and better training.

The attack part is good because it  stops both players from staying right above the table.
