The so-called pushing the ball refers to the pushing and blocking technique.

The technical essentials are as follows: When pushing and blocking, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, lift your heels slightly, raise your body's center of gravity, and feel a bit superior. The ball is touched mainly by the hand and forearm exerting force forward. The thumb of the straight-grip hand should be extended, and the racket angle is mainly controlled by the index finger and the base of the thumb. The middle finger and ring finger should hold the racket hard after hitting the ball to cooperate in exerting force.

Application skills: Pushing the ball is mainly used for non-spinning balls and weak topspin balls; blocking the ball is mainly used for strong topspin balls, which is to use the force to block the ball. There is also strong push in application, like Jiang Penglong, the ball pushed out is particularly powerful. In addition, you can also push backspin balls, which changes the old method of having to rely on rubbing and receiving backspin balls that cannot reach the table. In this way, the ball pushed over is flat and fast, and has a little backspin, which will cause trouble to the opponent. To push backspin, you must first master the technique of pushing upspin before practicing this technique. The racket face should be tilted backward and the racket should be inserted to the bottom of the ball. When pushing forward, release the thumb and change the racket's backward tilt to forward tilt, which is a bit like flipping the racket and sending it forward with force.

Backhand push is an important basic skill and also an important technique for blocking loop balls.
