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.
