Thanks Tom! It gives me some sense of relief to see a player of *your* abilities suffering at the end of Emma's pushes & shots...as I do virtually weekly during her amazing one-to-one coaching 😂😂 Great video, as always. Looking forward to the next ones! 👍🏓

Very often, a good push is preferable to an average top-spin. This is especially true against players with proper technique and training: They tend to be very comfortable counter-looping a clean top-spin, but will get confused by a heavy well placed push, especially if you can add some no-spin ones as well.

Most convincing! However, Tom, why no advice on the angle of the pad while pushing?

My first coach taught me to push like that. It is like a mini chop using a lot of wrist.

exactly, its not a normal push its more like a chop over the table its one of my strong weapons too since many players have a really hard to looping it at least on one side, making it safe for me to chop-push there to open up myself next ball or watching them trying and looping into the net also u can vary the backspin while pushing giving it a really wiiide range from low to heavy backspin further destroying the confidence of ur opponent trying to loop, once they adapted to heavy backspin u push rather low spin and watch them overshoot the table

Thank you Tom, very interesting!

Tom, love your videos. Thanks Danbury

Tom is the GOAT!

I am playing a woman tomorrow who pushes like this. She usually pushes to my BH but I don't really struggle playing against it. She struggles with short push to FH

Pushers are the worst!

Excuse me, but they are far from being real coaches. But they are enthusiastic amateurs.
