Hi Gogo,

Step close to the ball by putting your right leg under the table.  Then use the Backhand Push or the Forehand Flick stroke to handle that type of ball.

If his shot has backspin then the Push is the easier option.  If the short ball has no spin or topspin, then use the Flick.

  1. Foot Position: Ensuring a stable and balanced stance to facilitate quick movements.​ 
  2. Start Position: Positioning your racket and body correctly to initiate the stroke effectively.​ 
  3. Finish Position: Completing the stroke in a way that prepares you for the next shot.​ 

Additionally, we discuss how to adjust your bat angle if the ball goes long, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the same start and finish positions without coming across your body.​
