What's your MAIN GOAL when you're at net against a pusher? Move him/her faster?

put away the ball? Pushers can't hit good passing shots so it should be a good strategy to end the point.

Pushers are effective to a certain level--until players are capable of hitting winners against them.

Come to the net and angle a ball off or hit a drop shot. Don't hang back from the net, but be ready to back up and hit an overhead or run down a lob since pushers typically lob rather than going for the passing shot.

make them run and close to net, generally you get an easy floater and can put it away. Normally if you do this a couple times they will try to go for more and end up breaking down

go for short chip and charges to their weaker lob side.
