Forehand side swipe

Hi pingskills

So I was watching Quadri Aruna vs Zhang Jike and saw Quadri doing a side swipe off Zhang's pendulum serve. How does he keep the ball so controlled? When I tried the ball went all over the place. Is the forehand side swipe better off a normal pendulum or reverse pendulum? 

Thank you very much?

Hi Bryan,

It is a risky stroke against either but I would find it easier off the Pendulum serve as the ball is coming in towards the bat.

The Push in Detail

The humble push does not sound like an exciting stroke but it is one of the most important shots in Table Tennis. Having a great short push can be the difference between being an average player and being a great player. Make sure you allocate the appropriate amount of practice to mastering the push.
