Backhand Sidespin Flick

Richard Xie Asked 13 years ago

Hi, I've seen a serve-return that creates side spin and i would like to learn it. i can't recall the move's name but i do think that it starts with the letter 'j'. From what I have see, you go in toward the ball with your elbow high and forearm vertical and flicking your wrist to strike the ball, thus creating a side spin.(All of this is on the backhand side) I've tried to practice it but, it's just feels awkward and i don't think i'm getting the move right. if this move does sound familiar to you, could you please give some tips on how to approach mastering this move?

thanks

Hi Richard,

Take a look at our lesson on the Backhand Sidespin Flick.  I am pretty sure this is what you are talking about.  If so, this lesson will help you.

Let us know if it is not the return you were thinking of.
