How to EXECUTE a High Quality Long Push - eBaTT | Tutorial #12

eBaTT - Table Tennis Tutorial - P1 April 2019 (How to execute a quality Long Push),
The Exercise:
Long Push, A relatively simple strong to execute but hard to deliver at a high level consistently. The aim is to get the stroke technically correct and impart a good amount of backspin which elevates the pressure on your opponent. The long push can be executed on any short ball especially backspin. This stroke puts your opponent under pressure; can cause them to miss or deliver a slow ball which allows you to take command over the rally.
The Aim:
1. Produce backspin and float with a similar-looking stroke,
2. Develop the correct technique (hacking motion)
3. Point of contact on the bat low to mid bat for heavy spin and high up less spin and using the correct angle
4. Timing point, when to connect with the ball in flight (in or around the peak of bounce)
How it's done:
1. Grip, the grip tightens at the point of contact this increases control.
2. Contact point, aim to hit the ball near the bottom or middle section for heavy spin and top end for less spin.
3. The technique, hacking motions, and a follow-through stroke

Wow! The way you cover every little detail is just amazing. You give us all we need to improve our game. You can just see when somebody really cares, and when somebody is a good person. We can't thank you enough, coach!

[@ebatt8803]

Super kind words, I really appreciate your positive comment 🙌🏓 I’m told I will have my hall back in January, which will allow me to shoot tutorials once again 🙌🏓

[@umutozk]

Your videos are above beginners level. KZbin is full with basic levels where i say it is enough, i am looking for more quality info's and .... Wa-La... Your coaching approach is great. Loved it. Thank you.

[@connorbycroft1249]

Didn't know you had this many subscribers sir! Really helpful tutorials, thanks!

[@morgenstern1447]

you are the best tabletennis trainer!

[@MarcelSM01]

Nice vid. I was doing it wrong, having my bat more open like you said in the beginning. Will try the way you explained. Thanks for the clear explanation.

[@MMCkingdom]

your bonus tips are amazing ...appreciated

[@ebatt8803]

Thank you 🙏🙌🏓

[@raymondborror6996]

Thank you for the detailed instruction. Very helpful.

[@Bork0r]

Such good tips! Very useful for me as an intermediate player.

[@liamcannon9617]

great video ! the second tip was exactly what was wrong with my stroke : i was thinking it was a short shot and having a super open racket.

[@marleiserashford396]

Great video. I like your training style.

[@jimmyandersen1299]

Very good explanation how-to. Super! Please continue to make more videos. I would like to get my feet more in motion as that is the major fault to not come into the correct position Before hitting all balls. So even doing basic foot excercises I would like to know what drills you can recommend for people Little older in the table-tennis World to start moving much more than today. I tried to do mixed 1-3 balls in bh and fh but that is not good enough. I need a dril to get hungry and feel to like move me all the time. If I donät the opponent find my pocket Place all the time :)

[@tellmestraight]

Thank you for these lessons. I appreciate that you give more advanced advice.

[@MOSTAFA131160]

good informative video, thank you.

[@ebatt8803]

Thank you for the lovely feedback

[@stephenphoenix-roberts9447]

Good video I like to use a little height so the spins more affective and it more work for opponent to attack you as there less momentum ur giving your opponent.

[@nafiuzzaman4103]

Nice video...with good explanation... I will apply it and give a review of its effectiveness

[@castanatra]

Gold tips !

[@ebatt8803]

alan lopes thank you 🙏

[@missmisiowa]

excellent, thank you, will try that further, i had a feeling that my sort of side pushes were more effective, they kind of counter incoming back spin. as for the angles, i think you were at 45 there but it depends on the pint of view. you could say 135 and it would be the same. for example: apparently, The Earth is tilted by 23.4 degrees, which means that Earth's polar axis is at a 66.6 degree angle. as you can see, you can easily mask 666 with 234 that way.

[@abhisheksajwan8877]

Respect for you from india

[@ebatt8803]

Bless, very kind words 🙌🏓

[@collinsmwenda]

I may be wrong but long pushes are easier to return than short ones. Check Ma Long's or Xu Xin's pushes. They are short and they always wait for their opponent to do a long push and then they loop. Even at a club I joined, kids are taught to loop anything that is long. They are taught to perfect their spinny loops

[@ebatt8803]

Collins Mwenda correct, you should aim to touch short but you can not always touch short and in that case you should be looking to push long positively. I have a video on short touches also. Regards 🏓💥

[@collinsmwenda]

eBaTT Thanks for the direction. It means a lot

[@janosch7210]

Very situational i'd say. If your opponent is 10+ years younger, thus faster on the feet, yeah maybe just push short and try to open up yourself. Hope for the best 😅 If you can outmaneuvre with, like him walking to forehand, then pushing heavy to the backhand or ellbow position, you get a lot of mistakes even from decent players. For that just practice your timing. Wait a little, delay the push, let your opponent start predicting the direction. The moment he starts walking, play the other side. Deep and heavy. Or even side and under sideout to the backhand. See who plays a killerloop to that 😂 A other option is also, if your skilled enough, but maybe slower on feet, to give him the opener, but preparing the angle and counter. like give him a push to the backhand, expect the topspin, keep the racket up and counter it. Normally it comes cross anyways. Like 85 to 90%. Even with good players. Thats just intuition. And once you know, you can predict and counter easily. If you hit a decent counter, its mostly direct points, even against better players

[@praveenModlier]

Thanks for the tips and I feel it is quite effective to put the opponent on difficult position, however if the opponent puts lots of backspin, this kind of stroke may not be that effective as it will send the ball into the net.

[@ebatt8803]

Pleasure, yes this is a generic explanation and it’s down to the individual to adapt accordingly

[@tdub2422]

Hello Coach Eli. Another winner. Thanks for the interesting vid. I especially like coming from the side, something I wasn't doing. Is the long push ever an advantage over a flick, or best used as a change of pace? Thanks.

[@asadjapanwala8529]

Good tips thank you

[@abu-bakr9604]

Hello coach in which kind of situation is the long push most effective against your opponent?

[@gurutejacharya]

How do we apply this technique if ball is coming deep on our side ? Should we push or topspin is better always ?

[@ebatt8803]

Always try to take advantage, most of the time that means Topspin . But if you’re missing your topspin’s or your opponent doesn’t like backspin then push back

[@kdgr]

Danke Eli! Grüße Jannis

[@pnachtwey]

My coach told me to use my wrist when I can. I hit the table so often the rubber starts to come off.

[@HienLe-rf9ev]

Nice tips, but I have a question: You taught us to keep the bat angle about 135 degrees, but in a real match, our opponents serving not only backspin, how to use long push again sidespin and topspin, can I use the same bat angle of 135 degrees?

[@ebatt8803]

Hiển Lê no these techniques are specific to what you’re being taught. A backspin push should not be used for a Topspin serve!

[@jink1231]

Coach, please post some drills for a long pips player (forehand)

[@jink1231]

@@ebatt8803 both. I am new to long pips and have been using lp on my fh. Thank you.

[@kittylam2972]

When I do this I often hit it too strong and outside. I don’t know how to do it with power but just on the white line. Any one can help.

[@ebatt8803]

Try different bat angles, practice and you’ll find it in good time.

[@LaurenceNyein]

Do you lose point during a match if you accidentally hit the table with the bat?

[@LaurenceNyein]

Coach Me Table Tennis by Eli Baraty thanks for confirming. 🙏

[@dinomaster119]

Excellent explanation! Ps: poor racket :(

[@dinomaster119]

@@ebatt8803 because you hit it on the table many times. It was a joke hahaha, forget it

[@sipscl]

thanks for this interesting video! One question: is this approach (racket angle, going right through the ball until the racket hits the table) on every incoming spin (especially underspin)?

[@sipscl]

you misunderstood me! I meant what spin has the incoming ball (the spin from the ball of the opponent). Does your technique work on every incoming spin?@@ebatt8803

[@eloimumford5247]

i like your teaching , especially the written résumé that i copy/paste in a txt file . Chop the ball like you want to cut the opponent's head ....am bad !

[@germantrainer442]

When you know what you are talking about 👍

I have no idea, just make it up as I go along 😜🙌🏓

Now ..this is my problem... I got all from attack or loop.. but now i know my push doesnt developed correctly
