Great thoughts as usual... my experience is many pushers dont mind the side to side running but are very uncomfortable close to the net, so l always add plenty of drop shots!
@andrew Not my weekly pusher. He loves running from side to side AND coming to the net. And he runs in circle as well. There is no drop shot he can't get too unless I disguise it perfectly. The key word in this comment is "weekly". :( As in oh no! Not again. I know, bad mindset. Got the point of this video. I won't quit.
Maybe am wrong but I feel like the main reason for many players to struggle against pushers is their inability to hit overheads and easy put away volleys.
One key is to be physically fit and be able to hit drop feeds. Essentially, a pusher is giving you drop feeds. As long as you are able to physically get into position for the shot and have drilled with drop feeds, you will destroy a pusher.
I play a pusher, who used to be squash player, slices on both wings and is very accurate. He's able to disguise the direction of the shot and keep good length. Sure, you can make him run but he can make you run too. Volleying heavily sliced shots is not easy either.
It's a more simple approach to this very difficult challenge but my "pusher" loves to run. I drop shot him, make him go from side to side, lob him, slice him but he answers with those moon balls and badminton type drop shots when I bring him to the net. When I began playing against this guy I was thinking like you suggest and I had the upper hand. But now he's the one dictating the tempo and it's ruining my game as I make a lot of mistakes. Not to mention the challenge it poses for my temper. ;) It's a pain to be honest. But I will try to correct my mindset. I'll keep you posted on my progress. Thanks for this perspective.
you need the ability to find your rhythm with the high bouncing ball that has less pace and that is actually a hard thing to so do when your used to playing against people who have pace in their shots, you also need patience for them to eventually to make a mistake in wither hitting it out or very short to put away with swing volley or smash or fake the former and do a gentle drop shot instead.
The only way to destroy a nimble and fast running pusher is to force them to take more risk by either moving up to the net after an attack or inviting them to the net themselves, They are usually very uncomfortable in those regimes. Pushers like to use your own energy against you by putting little force of their own into their shots. Hence they outlast you if you play their game. Volleys and overheads are a must have against pushers like @xg3069 mentioned.

Well spotted. And great training today

So true.
Absolutely true. Volleys especially the smash are seldom practised, yet absolutely crucial vs pushers

I quite enjoy playing pushers, I think of them as good hitting practice.

I hate pushers. Can't wait to try this

depends on pusher's level. If MEP, this coach has no chance to win.
@@yili9725 I agree 100% Some pushers are really good at their pushing. ;) What's MEP by the way?

As interesting and innovative as usual great channel
I think bashers are going to quickly realize, that they don’t have the skills to take a 3/4 swing, to place the ball, to make them run…
Found the pusher!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
i am a pusher .Thats the way to play.
Looks like you’ve had a lot of rain there this week Steve 😅
First. And awesome.

I don't agree with this, unless you lack the power and consistency to hit more winners than losers.
If you have power and consistency in tennis you’re pretty much a pro so yes a recreational pusher player shouldn’t be an issue
Its about control. Putting the ball in the direction and depth tiu are siming every shot with jalf oace. @xg3069
