Pushing
Strokes
Johnny Long Asked 9 years ago
Hey.
My coach have taught me to keep my push small and gentle.
He told me to keep the movement of my bat small.
However, I find that this doesn't work against very heavy spins. I need to really come under the ball and slice it to get the ball over.
So my question is, should my push always be small and gentle, or they should have more momentum and spin, or it can vary?
Thanks.

Hi Johnny,
For the heavy backspin ball you can still just adjust the angle of your racket even further back so that the ball goes over the net. You really don’t need a big swing.

Forehand Counterhit
The forehand counterhit or forehand drive is the foundation for more attacking strokes such as the forehand topspin or forehand loop. There are 3 critical factors:
- Your feet position
- Your start position
- Your finish position
If you concentrate on these 3 factors then your stroke will become extremely consistent. Once you can reliably hit 100 balls in a row then you are ready for more attacking strokes. If you can hit 1,000 balls on in a row then you know you've truly mastered the stroke.
