Long pushing
Strokes
eugene lu Asked 9 years ago
Hi pingskills,
When long pushing, should I push the ball early off the bounce or late and on top of the ball?

Hi Eugene,
You can do both. I like to get the ball earlier off the table to give your opponent less time. If you wait till the ball is higher, it is easier to generate more speed from the higher hitting point but you have also given your opponent more time to see what is coming.

Forehand Topspin Variations
A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.

But don't taking the ball early be more inconsistent?
It is a little more difficult but also more difficult for your opponent.
