Dealing with half-long pushes
Strokes
Oliver Asked 11 years ago
How do you topspin a half-long backspin push/serve which just goes beyond the table without hitting your bat?

Hi Oliver,
If the second bounce is off the table then you can make a topspin. Your stroke will need to be quite vertical though to get the ball up over the end of the table.
This Ask the Coach video response will also help you . Below the Table Level.

Forehand Topspin Variations
A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.
