Hello, Pingskills,

What is the differense between forehand push and backhand push? What do you think? I think it is the same.

I will be grateful.

Hi Konstantin,

Some players find the forehand push more awkward because of the movement of the wrist.  The bat movement is essentially the same with the bat moving forward.

Take a look at our lessons on the Backhand Push and the Forehand Push for more information.
