How to PUSH Effectively - Professionals Explained

[@z0uLess]

Angling the racket to add sidespin to the ball by shooting your arm forward is also very effective to break the patterns that people are used to when they are trying to receive a push. This is the area where slower rackets shine, for players that are tall and have a long reach over the table to do all kinds of tricks close to the net.

As I have been playing regularly for 64 years, changing technique is obviously very difficult and frankly on other TT websites I couldn’t do it. However your demonstration of the short side spin push was a eureka moment for me,and as the Greek guy said,”I have truly found it.”Thank you sincerely for revitalising this previously decrepit old geezer.

Sometimes in my club, the backspin serve its so heavy, its so hard to push normally / lightly, since the ball going to hit the net

How to deal with long & heavy backspin+side spin serves? I'm not so good at looping 😢

[@rationalttanalysis]

feel free to check out this video where I explained how to topspin any long serves (including side-backspin) kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5u8emSprc5seLs It is important to practice your topspin loop because it is an essential skill for an advanced player. However, if you want a safer option, and you are sure the serve is heavy backspin, you can push deep with lots of wrist and arm movement to make the ball heavy backspin, making it difficult for the opponent to attack.

How to attack long and slow serves that are hard to loop because of no speed.

[@rationalttanalysis]

If I were you I would slow topspin the ball. You are right if these is no speed from the opposition’s serve it is hard to attack fast.

[@aurelioribasestrella1690]

When is best to push? After backhand serve?

[@rationalttanalysis]

It really depends. For example, if you can’t attack, then pushing might be the better option. If your opponent has weak attack, pushing is a good option. However, it has nothing to do if what serve you do

[@zizo015]

Thanks again. But you did not explain how the spin is produced or maximized. Using the forehand or only/mainly the wirst ripping down the ball.. Regarding the angle, sometimes when the coming underspin is heavy and I rip down to spin ball, It becomes too much of spin and the ball goes to the net..I'm not sure if it's may be better to just lift push against heavy backspin instead of trying to give more spin.. Or it's just about the correct angle, regardless of how much I spin the ball? Hope you can understand what I mean

[@rationalttanalysis]

Thanks for your comment. For any push your wrist should be locked. Using your forearm alone is enough to push against any backspin no matter how heavy it is. Yes, using your wrist may add a bit extra spin, but it gives unstableness to your push and you'll lack consistency. Make sure you get that brushing contact to produce spin. The angle is important too. Heavy spin -> open angle; Float/Not much spin -> Relatively closed angle. I recommend you watch this video from PingSkills for further understanding.
