Hello , I've been wondering , what's the difference with the red and black rubber on the bat( racket ) . Thanks .. :))

[pingskills]

@khaimangkok In my case nothing. I use the same rubber on the forehand and backhand. Some players can use different types of rubbers on each side and hence the rules state you need 1 red and 1 black rubber so your opponent can quickly tell which rubber you are using when you hit the ball!

When pushing the ball should I push it longer or closer and should I try pushing it harder for more back spin? 

[pingskills]

@ttpetiyyy If you push the ball short and low it will be harder for your opponent to attack so this is usually the best way to go. To get more backspin you need to brush the ball more.

[byronsrock4]

when would you want to use the push?

[pingskills]

@byronsrock4 You use it as a defensive stroke. The backspin makes it harder for your opponent to attack.

Its easy to type a few words online and sound like a pro and shoot these guys down... but all your doing is making yourself look like a tool.... these guys are VERY good and make excellent educational vids.

Good techniques! The most important thing for Intermidiate players that want to improve there forehand push is to have a better feeling of the bat. Forehand push returns varies on the types of fubber and blade so don't expect the same result all the time.

@pingskills Defense against what kind of strike?

@broro100 He probably cleaned it too.

@harrypotter12377 Yes. It is because it can stick on to the rubber for a little more time and more time to "rub" the ball !
