- In this video, top coach Emma Harradine teaches us how to use our push shots more effectively.
The push is usually considered a safety shot. But if used with lots of backspin and placed well, it can be a hugely effective weapon.
Emma gives some tips on generating more backspin, placement, timing and variation. And there is plenty of footage, as usual, of me messing up!
Emma Harradine is a Level 3 coach. She has won English national titles in the over 40s and over 50s women's category. You can find out more about Emma and her coaching services on her website. www.emmattcoach.co.uk/

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?
Thank you Tom, very interesting!
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
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!
First
Excuse me, but they are far from being real coaches. But they are enthusiastic amateurs.
