Pushing short with spin
Strokes
Merijn Machielse Asked 13 years ago
When I push short i cant get good backspin in it, but when i push long i can get a lot of backspin in it.
Is it normal that there is almost no backspin in a short push?

Hi Merijn,
It is easier to get spin on the long push because you can swing a little faster. It is possible though to generate spin on the short push as well. You need to work on this though as it is a fine skill. You need to work on getting a fine contact ion the ball and swing through reasonably fast to generate the spin. The fine contact will keep the ball short. As I said though this is a difficult skill and one that needs a lot of practice.
