Hi

How do I return a fast sidespin topspin. I find myself standing still because the curve of the sidespin and the speed of the topspin and the sidespin topspin is always low on the table.

Hi Tri,

I find it easiest to put a bit of sidespin back on the ball.  It will feel like it keeps low because it doesn't have as much topspin as a straight topspin forehand.  If you are both right handers then you are coming around the outside of the ball and the ball is coming into your bat.

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.
