Attacking long serves in doubles
Strokes
parth limbachia Asked 11 years ago
Hi Alois,
Is it good to drop the wrist and play forehand loop when attacking backspin serve in doubles and then switch back to normal forehand loop (wrist not bent) while playing rallies? What are the advantages and disadvantages of attacking the serve using the wrist in forehand?

Hi Parth,
The wrist should be a continuation of the stroke. When you need to get more speed on the stroke or lift a heavier ball then you can relax it and allow it to move with the rest of your arm. For more control, you can keep your wrist firmer. So you can switch between the two strokes during a rally depending on the type of ball that they give you.

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.
