Hello,
I'd like to understand what is difference b/w forehand counterhit and forehand push in terms of technique and situations when they are applied.
Thanks!

Hi Marchello,
The Forehand counterhit is hit with a small amount of topspin and really is an attacking shot. You use this to try win the point or at least gain the ascendency in a rally.
The
Forehand Push is more of a defensive stroke. With this shot you impart backspin on the ball which makes it harder for your opponent to attack.

How should you move if you are a defender. The footwork is quite different to that of an attacker because you have a lot more distance to cover. However, we will show you the simple movement patterns that will help you to be able to cover the whole court effectively.
