Backhand development
Strokes
Abhiram Reddy Asked 11 years ago
To add offensive to my backhand , I initially set out to learn the side-spin flick. Most of the times I am unable to put side-spin on the ball and simply flat hit it (plain flick).But when I do succeed with the stroke I get better results. Which stroke should i pursue first? Or can I try learning both together?
The end result I want is to bring proficiency to my backhand in general including having a confident BH topspin off any ball. What is the order of strokes you suggest I start practicing? I can already block moderately well and do the counter-hit to some extent.

Hi Abhiram,
I would focus on the counter hit first, then the topspin, then the Flick. Then you can move on to the sidespin flick. It is a matter of getting the feel for the ball on the backhand side first.

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.
