Is it possible to attack a Low Backspin Serve which is on the table? I can Flick the ball backhand when it bounces a little bit over the net. But, I tend to Lift it or Push it when I get a Low Backspin Serve.

Hi Ryan,

It is possible to attack the low backspin serve but there is more risk.  Most players that want to attack that ball will use the Backhand Sidespin Flick or Banana Flick which makes it easier to lift the backspin.

Take a look at the tutorial and see if you can implement the stroke.

Yes, I think the risk you are mentioning is not always proper brushing of the Ball during the Flick. I tend to push it deep with heavy backspin using wrist. Hope that is a good usage of serve.

If you add the wrist you will get some more topspin to make the flick safer.
