The “short push” as it is referred to, is a return of service where the ball bounces on the opponents side of the table twice. It is a skilful shot that often requires a fair amount of practice to perfect. This shot is an essential shot to master as it results in the opponent often being unable to put in a powerful forehand or backhand shot resulting in them instead pushing the ball back. You can then take advantage of the second ball and put in a powerful second ball attack back at your opponent.

Table Tennis like other racket sports consists of deuce when the scores are locked at 10-10. During these situations you need to have mental toughness as each point from thereon is crucial.

These games are important because it is commonly known that tight deuce games can win or lose a match for a player.
