Penhold RPB Training 5

For beginners, we use three methods to train spin production:
1. Push
2. Serve
3. Loop
Today, we will practice the entry-level technique of backhand ball pushing - the slow push. Note that this is a technique using the front-side rubber.
Pushing the ball is a non-offensive technique, but precisely for this reason, it often doesn't receive much attention. We believe it is crucial!
A. It is the entry-level technique for actively generating spin.
B. It is an irreplaceable training method for mastering fast and slow rhythms.
C. If you want to improve and enhance your serve and receive techniques, ball pushing is the most important training method, without a doubt!
D. This is a technique that needs to be practiced almost every day.
The motion structure is simple, but the first thing to address is to have a backward preparatory swing upon seeing the incoming ball, and the rhythm should not be fast. Since we are practicing the slow push, the contact time with the ball is in the early phase of its descent. The racket should be tilted backward, the contact with the ball should be close to the bottom, and there should be no sudden force applied during contact.
As the motion becomes proficient, add the movements of the wrist and fingers, mastering how to create an underspin. After becoming more skilled, emphasize the coordination of the index finger, middle finger, wrist, and forearm. Gradually learn to transfer the force to the front end of the hand, reaching the first joint of the fingers.
When starting practice, push slowly, with a long trajectory, and close to the baseline.
Penhold players have a natural advantage in serving and ball-pushing. Our training method still begins with shadow stroke and then progresses to multi-ball exercises.
M-boy's continuous motion in ball pushing needs improvement; the angle of the racket at the time of ball contact should be slightly smaller, meaning the contact with the ball should be closer to the bottom.
