Hi Hari,

Not sure what you mean by a Korean push.

Anticipation

How is it that a player can always seem to get back those extremely fast topspins? Is it their incredible anticipation? The key to good anticipation actually lies in tracking the ball well. When you watch the ball closely your peripheral vision will pick up your opponents movements and with lots of practice those signs will help you anticipate what your opponent is going to do. This happens naturally with lots of experience. So it it your job to ensure that you are tracking the ball really carefully.

Well, generally speaking, if you want to stop someone smashing away your shot easily, you need to keep your shot lower and with more backspin.  The easiest thing to try and change is just the angle of your racquet face on contact.  If it's popping up, you might try closing your racquet angle more.  Try putting some sidespin on your pushes.  Those penhold sidespin pushes can be VERY tricky to return.

yeah i agree with ji-soo. add some variety in your pushes. add some sidespin, backspin, vary the speed, placement, etc. try it and let us know if its effective.
