How to EXECUTE a High Quality Long Push - eBaTT | Tutorial #12

eBaTT - Table Tennis Tutorial - P1 April 2019 (How to execute a quality Long Push),
The Exercise:
Long Push, A relatively simple strong to execute but hard to deliver at a high level consistently. The aim is to get the stroke technically correct and impart a good amount of backspin which elevates the pressure on your opponent. The long push can be executed on any short ball especially backspin. This stroke puts your opponent under pressure; can cause them to miss or deliver a slow ball which allows you to take command over the rally.

The Aim:
1. Produce backspin and float with a similar-looking stroke,
2. Develop the correct technique (hacking motion)
3. Point of contact on the bat low to mid bat for heavy spin and high up less spin and using the correct angle
4. Timing point, when to connect with the ball in flight (in or around the peak of bounce)

How it's done:
1. Grip, the grip tightens at the point of contact this increases control.
2. Contact point, aim to hit the ball near the bottom or middle section for heavy spin and top end for less spin.
3. The technique, hacking motions, and a follow-through stroke

Wow! The way you cover every little detail is just amazing. You give us all we need to improve our game. You can just see when somebody really cares, and when somebody is a good person. We can't thank you enough, coach!

[umutozk]

Your videos are above beginners level. Youtube is full with basic levels where i say it is enough, i am looking for more quality info's and .... Wa-La... Your coaching approach is great. Loved it. Thank you.

[connorbycroft]

Didn't know you had this many subscribers sir! Really helpful tutorials, thanks!

[raymondborror]

Thank you for the detailed instruction. Very helpful.

[MarcelSM]

Nice vid. I was doing it wrong, having my bat more open like you said in the beginning. Will try the way you explained. Thanks for the clear explanation.

[jimmyandersen]

Very good explanation how-to. Super!
Please continue to make more videos.
I would like to get my feet more in motion as that is the major fault to not come into the correct position Before hitting all balls.
So even doing basic foot excercises I would like to know what drills you can recommend for people Little older in the table-tennis World to start moving much more than today. I tried to do mixed 1-3 balls in bh and fh but that is not good enough. I need a dril to get hungry and feel to like move me all the time.
If I donät the opponent find my pocket Place all the time :)

Such good tips! Very useful for me as an intermediate player.

[MMCkingdom]

your bonus tips are amazing ...appreciated

[marleiserashford]

Great video. I like your training style.

[liamcannon]

great video ! the second tip was exactly what was wrong with my stroke : i was thinking it was a short shot and having a super open racket.

[tellmestraight]

Thank you for these lessons. I appreciate that you give more advanced advice.

Hello coach in which kind of situation is the long push most effective against your opponent?

[tdub]

Hello Coach Eli. Another winner. Thanks for the interesting vid. I especially like coming from the side, something I wasn't doing. Is the long push ever an advantage over a flick, or best used as a change of pace? Thanks.

[ShamDiscTVK]

like it, well explained, thanks a lot

[nafiuzzaman]

Nice video...with good explanation... I will apply it and give a review of its effectiveness

[stephenphoenix-roberts]

Good video I like to use a little height so the spins more affective and it more work for opponent to attack you as there less momentum ur giving your opponent.

[savell]

another great teaching video. thank you.

[collinsmwenda]

I may be wrong but long pushes are easier to return than short ones. Check Ma Long's or Xu Xin's pushes. They are short and they always wait for their opponent to do a long push and then they loop. Even at a club I joined, kids are taught to loop anything that is long. They are taught to perfect their spinny loops

[gurutejacharya]

How do we apply this technique if ball is coming deep on our side ? Should we push or topspin is better always ?

[praveenModlier]

Thanks for the tips and I feel it is quite effective to put the opponent on difficult position, however if the opponent puts lots of backspin, this kind of stroke may not be that effective as it will send the ball into the net.
