Backhand sidespin flick off serve

Bryan Lee Asked 7 years ago

hello pingskills

I was watching videos of Fan Zhendong play and I was amazed at how easily he can flick balls with side spin and back spin so easily. I also noticed that he usually flicks with the spin off of the opponents right handed pendulum serve

My question is: Is it easier or better to do a backhand sidespin flick going with the spin or against it. 

Thanks very much

Hi Bryan,

I think it feels easier to do it with the ball coming into the bat as in from the Pendulum serve.
