Use of Finger & Thumb
Strokes
Roger Willoughby Asked 13 years ago
Hi, can you please tell me if the finger & thumb are used merely to hold the bat or used to add a little extra speed to your shots. If so how and when are they used. Many Thanks Roger

Hi Roger,
The finger and thumb are primarily used for holding the bat. You should try to keep them relaxed through your strokes. If you tighten them you will start to get tight in the wrist and then also arm.

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.
