First of all, this is the last video where the audio quality will be like this! Better days are coming. This is a video on long push forehand, but the principles that apply here, also apply for your backhand push. The main focus is to be aggressive with your long push and to play it with intention: you expect the ball to come back and you welcome that by being ready for whatever!

Thank you, I know! If you have the opportunity/time, there really isn't an upper limit on how much you should practice your serve. There will be another one coming (service 201), but I don't think that it will be first in line. I don't want to be known as the 'serve guy' (although I truly appreciate that so many people found my video helpful) and I have some general ideas for videos which vary from receive to passive game to footwork... And I feel some of those topics are most lacking in the available table tennis videos/tutorials online.
@@OlavKTTT I can't wait for the different tutorials, they are much needed. Thanks for breaking down these techniques, they're really helpful. Especially since I am in the US, and there aren't many TT coaches.
I love your in-depth explanations, especially the applicability of the technique in game + reasoning behind it. Earned a sub from me 🤝 excited for all of your future content!
Hi. Thank you. I’ve always been afraid to push long because the answer was always stressful but I’ll try these new tricks. I’m wondering what your equipment is, since I’m looking for something new.
underrated skill. played against a junior a few years ago who did this and it was horrendous. easy ball to deal with when you know it's coming; a lot harder when you're expecting something else
Really love your videos Olav. Can you confirm that the on the bounce no spin techique is for topspin only? I can't imagine this working for a underspin ball!
I can't really confirm. It even is the most difficult to do with a topspin serve, because you run the risk of pushing the ball over the table. Therefore, you'll really have to pay attention to 'closing' your shoulders a lot. The easiest serve to do that push on, is a sidespin-backspin serve. You can do it on a serve with only backspin, you can do it on a serve without spin... you just have to adjust your racket angle accordingly. Thank you for watching/commenting!
Nope. I demonstrated it at 04:57, so maybe try to take a closer look there. If you're going up, you'll push the ball out when your opponent plays without spin. You have to go a little bit more forward than with a receive on topspin, but you nevertheless have to go down into the table.
if you wanna take rotation out of the ball you dont take it early and open the racket you let it bounce first and wait until it drops again or you take it at the highest point.
One doesn't exclude the other. You can see at 02:04 that Lebruns push that he took 'on the bounce' has no spin and comes very deep on the table. As I said at the end, there are different ways to vary your long push. However, if you take the ball very low (as is done by some high-level players sometimes), you'll find out that your push doesn't come as fast/aggressive or surprising. It is possible to do, but I think that it is easier to learn to take the ball quicker on the bounce. I also believe that the last option is more universally applicable and can work on more players than a push that you take on the descent. But don't let me stop you from finding out what's best for your playing style, I just gave you some suggestions!
I have a problem, I never reach the rally situation. I make too many mistakes pushing into the net & opening out of the table and can never start rallying (my strongest ability).
Make sure the basics are right and maybe don't rush your shots too much. Make sure that your first ball goes on table (and that you finish your movement properly before getting back in your neutral position), afterwards you can worry about what comes next.
Hello Olav, just subscribed to your channel, great explanations of tactics and why using the techniques, definitively something that I will add to my game. I was wondering if you have tried something similar to Truls' side brush push, I see that it's something that he uses regularly and I don't know if it's really useful or he does it to look fancy. Thanks for your videos by the way.
I'm hyper focused on grip because I struggle in transition between my strong forehand and much weaker backhand. Would you please share your grip and are you making grip changes on the backhand? For me, seems I need a grip change for a better backhand, but that takes time to do and get stuck when the ball comes straight at and handcuffs me. Appreciate a response.
I have a bad grip, so don't follow my example. My grip is quite ok for backhand, but my racket naturally opens easily in FH. It is a question of feeling what's right for you and you have to work around that. You change your grip a little bit between FH and BH, but you can't exaggerate with that. Hope this helps.

A video on forehand and backhand topspin would be appreciated. Keep up the good work!
Great stuff again Olav, and your reassuring tone will undoubtedly encourage players to experiment.
Nice one, good work Olaf!
Hopefully you guys have another serve video coming, your last one was great!
It's such an important part of the sport but many rarely practice them

@@OlavKTTT I just figured that with backspin you have to go up instead of down to generate no spin, yes?

Great Video- other receive technichs whould be interesting !
Good stuff, looking forward to the better audio vids
Me too actually :)
Perfect !

Pretty sure that he's not just doing it to be fancy. I don't really use it, but don't let me stop you from trying out new things.
Great video. You have a new subscriber 😂
inderdaad ik probeer deze slag altijd te vermijden maar hoe meer variatie hoe beter
great content, keep it up!

Not bad but get yourself a mic.
