Pushing Techniques - Beginners

It's hard to avoid the endless stream of pushing technique videos on social media. Clearly opinions vary widely on the subject, and we celebrate a lively debate within the community. But it can all get a bit confusing for a beginner.

Most people emphasise the importance of calm yet focussed intent in the initial stages of the push, and a confident follow-through.

Filming your pushes and watching them back can often reveal areas for improvement. Tag us in your video @normalbuttons and we'd be very happy to rate your technique and offer expert guidance.

We encourage you to experiment, be patient and zone it on the right technique for you. Don't rush to advanced techniques before you're ready.
