Forehand/backhand push with backspin
Strokes
Raoul Esperas Asked 9 years ago
I notice some players like Zhang Jike other pro players do a forehand/backhand push on short table rallies but I noticed that there is a backspin when they push the ball.
My question is how do I backspin the ball by just pushing it?
usually I do a short chop near the table to return it with backspin.
what should I do to practice this and apply it on an actual match.

Hi Raoul,
We have a number of lessons on the push stroke, and this one title The Push in Detail explains a lot of concepts including generating backspin on the ball. The key is to brush underneath the ball. You can think of this as a mini-chop if that helps.
