Fast Deep Push
Strokes
Sourav Mehra Asked 13 years ago
How can we do a fast and long push or chop without making the ball go out of the table?

Hi Sourav,
Take a look at our video on the Backhand Push. This will help ensure you have the correct technique for the stroke.
You can't play this stroke as fast as you can a forehand topspin. The reason is that you are putting backspin on the ball which causes it to float through the air. With a topspin stroke, the ball actually dips down meaning you can hit it a lot faster.
Practice pushing with your partner and see just how fast you can push the ball whilst keeping it on the table. With this practice it's OK to push some off the end as this will give you some feedback as to exactly how fast you can push the ball and still keep it on.
A good option when pushing long is to try and get as much backspin as possible. This will be another way to make it more difficult for your opponent to attack.
