In the forehand push against light to medium backspin, the idea is to hit the ball over the net with slow to medium speed and a little backspin to help you control the ball, and make it difficult to attack.
Points to look for:
- The player's right shoulder is dipped a little lower than for a normal ready position, since the player is performing a forehand push drill, and he is "cheating" a little in his recovery.
- The player is also a little closer to the table than would be considered normal during a rally in an actual match.
- The arms are held roughly shoulder width apart, with around a 90 degree angle at the elbow. The bat should be above the table to allow easy stroking of short balls.
