Hi Samma,

The backspin will drag the ball down onto the table on your side.  You need to lift the ball to get it over the net.  If the ball is short the easiest way is to Backhand Push the ball back.  If the ball is long then you should use the Forehand Topspin Off Backspin stroke.

The Push in Detail

The humble push does not sound like an exciting stroke but it is one of the most important shots in Table Tennis. Having a great short push can be the difference between being an average player and being a great player. Make sure you allocate the appropriate amount of practice to mastering the push.
