The Masterful Pusher

[MatheusLacet]

Masterful?

I couldnt see the anything 'masterful'

[B2359]

People are CRAZY ! this is high level of play ! ...it only looks slower on video. Have you ever watched Nadal play in person ? On TV he is so slow but when you go to see him, the rallies are so much faster. Notice these players have very very solid shots and the pusher has nice split steps. The point ended with a winner not an error; a clear sign of supreme abilities. Plus they are dressed in proper tennis kit. And there is an Umpire! Very Impressive !

[torotnota]

@B2359 over the internet, i cant tell if this is sarcasm

[B2359]

@torotnota I am not being sarcastic. I am surprised why people are blinded to the talents of these individuals. They dressed well, have an umpire and can hit winners at will. I can use the last same sentence to define Roger Federer !

[3timeMVPNash]

@B2359 They don't have solid shots. If they did then the first volley would have been put away. And it only ended with a winner because he had the ENTIRE COURT OPEN.

[B2359]

@3timeMVPNash You proved my point ; It takes a skillful player to move his opponent out of the court =) And ; they have a chair umpire, certainly this is very high level of game play ...

[B2359]

Holy Cow ! there is a chair umpire !!!

[vika0194]

Hope you won't call me stupid now. Is a pusher a player who shots high without top spin?

[narutoshadowclone3]

@vika0194 They just hit deep, they hit high so they can get back into position.

[vika0194]

@narutoshadowclone3 Oh okay. Thanks.

[drgreendick]

Hes a pusher but have some top spin, I really need to upload a video of the pusher im playing with!

[Red10Ferrari]

FOOTFAULT!

[natedog8110]

Atrocious.

[MrAlcadrios]

Your "masterful pusher" sucks. A good tennis player would have easily win this point, no matter the ball that your pusher throwed.

[dodododa]

I hit the ball very heavy, but these pushers who keep getting the ball back frustrate me. I get this bad feeling in my gut and I'm no longer relaxed and having fun. I have more success against orthodox big hitters.

[aulen300]

ohhhh my god! gotta love the robot like motion

[Moddick2]

They both suck.

[diablomid]

looks like they r just hitting high to get clearance over the net not pushing

[diablomid]

I honestly don't see any pushing from them. I play with pushers weekly n they hit moon balls to each other n I just stand n yawn. I will play these guys over them any day

[JHONATTANSAMA]

GARBAGE

[89Pleasek]

they both suck heavily

[dura1mater]

Great tennis point. Please post more! I enjoyed it very much. Please post more!

[hattrickster33]

Wow...I hope that wasn't a match.

[ryukenlmaoyes]

You're not a pusher, more like a pushover!

[dorker1992]

which ones the pusher :O

[berkeleyhome]

the only thing worth looking at in this video is the clay court, which is rare in my neck of the woods...all hardcourt here.

[banosdaja]

hahhah, 1st u guys need to learn to play

[bugabutu]

pushers got some awesome directional on that push stroke lol

[doneintheD16]

with pushers you have to change up the tempo. drop shot lob works well or give moon balls

[Rafathaman94]

Hey! Look! It's Murray!

[bugabutu]

push shots are pretty awesome, especially if you know how to combine them with rediculous angles

[SixFiber]

Haha what a fail, you suck at tennis....Give up

[wind1357]

I like playing pushers. But sometimes I do wants to hit hard once in a wild instead of going up to the net everytime I placed the ball right near the baseline.

[zombiegod329]

which one is the pusher

[zzyzybynsky]

my friend is a pusher, and he is probably the best one i've ever seen. he would destroy both these guys- they are both pretty awful.

[wat3rbottl3]

wtf, they were both crap, i hope they can play better than that. and that dudes serve was atrocious!

[0neTurbo]

i hope you werent putting effort into that point, becaus everything there was attrocious.

just like my spelling :p

[yoimcrazy]

You actually should've won that point, but you don't have nice footwork, should've finished the volley sooner.

[Aodaliyah]

That pusher is pretty good. He has horrible techniques, but I wouldn't want to play him.

[TheBBB]

Hardly master full when he hits a serve with a tense wristted western grip. The serve could have been easily put away, and up at the net there were tons of easy oppurtunities

[ZLenox]

he can't handle a forehand because he has no technique for a forehand

[huntersky123]

ditto

[linsam000]

lmao, i love to play against pushers, making them run and practice strategy since they get everything back at u. If u can't beat a pusher, serve and volley is the best tactic and remember lob is the best sign of fear u can ever get from the opponent.

[JewJewB]

The lob puts the fear into the net person, not the person who lobs. If they aren't prepared to handle a well-placed lob, you can do it to them all match and make them think twice before trying to crowd that net.

[appppppppple]

the best way to scare someone at the net is driving a ball at their face even if they block out back they will always feel afraid!

[maa105]

nice, lol

[chonobe]

hit a good approach and that wont happen >.>

[appppppppple]

the harder you hit a ball the easier it is to volley

[chonobe]

wth u talking about.... do u even know what a good approach is..... or even what kinda shot is call "a approach" shot....

[appppppppple]

why would you even hit an approach shot to someone at the net anyway... It's called a passing shot or lob. Yes, i know what an approach shot is.

[hentaiby]

nice

ussualy i like when someone goues to the net you can: 1scare them by a fake hard shot 2hit a hard shot by their side 3aim at face or ...4...best way is to make those guys run after a high lob (lol) :D

[ShAnnY820]

A pusher is basically a person that just hits the ball back. Their is nothing wrong with being a pusher. Power isn't everything. Although speed plays a factor in tennis, placement of the ball is essential. For example look at how this person places the ball to an area where the opponent has to reach for the ball and when the person is off balance he finishes the point.

[vietnamaznboi911]

wth's a pusher

[billoxford]

Hell they are both pushers. The guy at the net had chances to put away balls with angles but just fed them into the near pusher's comfort zone. What did he expect. And I don't see "Masterful" applied to the near pusher. If he wants to stand that far inside the base line I would be untying his shoe laces with topspin balls.

[TennisMindGame]

He can stand inside the line because the shots from his opponent are short.

He would undoubtedly adapt to your deep topspin shots and move back.

[cj397]

@TennisMindGame i would destroy him end of story. pushers are easy to beat, you need to be creative.

[banosdaja]

@TennisMindGame 1st hey nees to learn to play

[mysteriekiller]

@TennisMindGame I would beat the crap out of this guy

[mcortezzzzzzz]

@TennisMindGame but then he can start hitting deep after confusing the opponent. it is only manageable for pros to adapt to deep topspin shots.

[tenniswithd]

@TennisMindGame also for the less mobile folks it as a good way to cover the drop shot well which can be leathal and a weapon on a stage such as theirs.

[3timeMVPNash]

@TennisMindGame But then his pushing strategy would be ineffective, as angles would be opened up for his opponent.

[banosdaja]

@billoxford 

[DeepSilver95]

@billoxford 0.02 EPIC FAIL

[BCB113]

pushers dont stand a chance against a good player because their shots are just too weak to pose any threat.

[DragonCur]

What's a pusher?

[YuYuHakushoObsessor]

pushers are a disgrace to tennis. Learn how to play like a man instead of a pussy.

[kjh081]

LOL looks like the pusher dude was a smart man and the other a dumb pussy XP

[macs777]

Thanks for sharing this information with us!
