Attacking all the short balls
Strokes
Cristh Garrido Asked 11 years ago
Hi Alois and Pingskills
i like a lot attack all i can, i am developing my backhand sidespin flick and it is really good, but i want to ask you, can you attack ALL the short balls? im asking this because the professional players, that dominate this techniques, don't attack all the short balls, sometimes they push it, there are short ball that you can't attack?
Thanks

Hi Cristh,
With the sidespin flick you basically can attack any ball unless it is really heavy backspin or wide on the forehand side.
The better players will push the ball because it is a better option. If you attack some short balls you will not be able to get enough pace on it to trouble your opponent.

When you need to reach that really wide ball the regular shuffle step just won't get you there in time so you need to use the crossover step. This is essentially a running action to get you to the ball as fast as possible.
