Respect for pusher please?

I’ll say in the 3.5 range, if you have an aggressive player vs the pusher, the pusher will win more.



The pusher will almost always be more conditioned.

Most players don’t get upset when their opponent’s play well, rather when they make unforce errors. That’s why it’s seldom you’ll see a pusher break down mentally in a match. By design a pusher will make a lot less unforce errors than their opponent if both levels are similar.

Alot of times the pusher doesn’t even need to win, his opponent will lose.



And if you’re not a pusher, you will not beat a pusher of the same level by out pushing him period.

But the pusher still needs to make his opponent lose.

LOL I have often been hoping when playing another high level pusher that the match would Last something like 8 hours and I win when In Last rallies my opponent cant move any more but usually these matches have lasted about 2-4+hours because other pushers at some point of the match start to try shorten the points. I guess I was back then almost only pusher Who were allways ready to play point after point over 5 minute rallies without losing concentration or getting bored In any moment In 4-5 hour matches.

did Danny switch from slicing to pushing?

What separates the good ones is the ability to put something on the ball to keep it out of the hitters zone. That can be done with choppy, short-skidding, backward landing shots, or with topspinny deep moonballs that force awkward shots. What’s really fun is dealing with is deception and variety of the crafty player. A good pusher wins by taking advantage of an opponents poor footwork.

Most opponents take care of that all by themselves. That's the whole idea. The pusher doesn't "win" matches. Their opponents beat themselves.
