Table Tennis Forehand Push Lesson

Now we are going to take a look at the forehand push and again we are going to look at some basics and Alois is going to take us those. With the forehand push the things that we need to concentrate on like all of our other strokes is the start position and the finish position of your stroke. So you can see for Jeff there the start position is with his bat tilted a little bit towards the roof it's next to his body and around hip height or waist height. The finish position for the forehand push is right through and down towards the table. Just extending the arm forward. It is important with the forehand push not to use too much of your upper arm. It is essentially a stroke that just your lower arm and your fingers and your wrist. Now Jeff is just going to do a few more jobs there, so he is going to do the start position and finish position. Start and finish, start and finish of the stroke. Again as in all of our other strokes keep the stroke as simple as you can Jeff's angle of his bat is not changing through the stroke. Alright now we going to look at pushing short with your forehand push. Now this is a good idea because the ball is going to bounce twice on the table and your opponent is not going get a big swing at the ball. Now when your pushing short you want it to skim low over the net and bounce twice. This is going to mean your shot is going to be a lot shorter than when your doing a longer push. So let us just have a look at a few now.
