How to improve my backhand push at home?

Hi Sid,

You can utilise any table and push it up against a wall and hit the stroke you are wanting to improve.  It isn't ideal but if that is your only option utilise it well.

You can also use shadow play.  That is playing the stroke without a ball.  You can do this in front of a mirror and watch the stroke you are playing.  Compare it to the tutorial we have on the Backhand Push and see if your stroke looks the same.

Lobbing Tactics

If you get pushed back from the table don't just give up the point. Try and and get back into the rally. By lobbing the ball high and deep you give yourself time to get into position. If you can then get some topspin on the ball to force the smasher further away from the table then you are likely to get a weaker smash and then you can take your chance and try to counter attack!
